Answer:

$(2)/(5)\:liter$ of sugar is needed for 2 liter of flour.

Explanation:

We are given that,

5 liter of flour is added to 1 liter of sugar.

We have to find quantity of sugar required for 2 liter of flour.

Quantity of Sugar for 5 liter of flour = 1 liter

So, Quantity of Sugar for 1 liter of flour =
(1)/(5) liter

⇒ Quantity of Sugar for 2 liter of flour =
(1)/(5)*2=(2)/(5) liter

Therefore,
$(2)/(5)\:liter$ of sugar is needed for 2 liter of flour.
