Question

A) 1 cup
B) 2 cups
C) 3 cups
D) 512 cups

Answer 1

Cho used 1 cup more flour to bake the loaf of bread than she did to bake the cake. To calculate, subtract the amount used for the cake (2 cups) from the amount used for the bread (3 cups), resulting in 1 cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question of how much more flour Cho used to bake the loaf of bread than to bake the cake, we subtract the amount of flour used for the cake from the amount of flour used for the bread:

• Flour for bread: 3 cups
• Flour for cake: 2 cups

Subtract the smaller amount (cake) from the larger amount (bread) to find the difference:

3 cups (for bread) - 2 cups (for cake) = 1 cup

Therefore, Cho used 1 cup more flour to bake the loaf of bread than to bake the cake. The correct answer is A) 1 cup.
