Question

a recipe calls for 2/3 of a cup of sugar for every 2 cups of flour if you are using 1.5 cups of flour how many cups of sugar will you need

Answer 1

If the recipe calls for 2/3 of a cup of sugar for every 2 cups of flour, then the ratio of sugar to flour is 2/3 : 2 or 2:9.

To find out how much sugar you need when using 1.5 cups of flour, we can set up a proportion:

2/9 = x/1.5

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2(1.5) = 9x

3 = 9x

x = 3/9

x = 1/3

Therefore, you will need 1/3 of a cup of sugar when using 1.5 cups of flour in this recipe.
