Answer:

15/32 cups

Explanation:

Given data

We are given data 3/4 cups of sugar required 3/5 cups of flour

What amount sugar requires 3/8 cups of flour is the question

Solution

3/4 cups of flour needs 3/5 cups of sugar

Hence x cups of flours need 3/8 cups of sugar

cross multiply

3x/5= 3/4*3/8

3x/5= 9/32

3x= 9*5/32

3x= 45/32

x= 15/32

Hence the amount of flour is 15/32 cups
