Answer 2

If the recipe calls for 8 cups of flour and the baker used 24 cups of flour, we can find out how many times the recipe was multiplied by dividing the amount of flour used by the amount of flour in the recipe:

24 cups of flour ÷ 8 cups of flour = 3

So the recipe was multiplied by 3.

To find out how many eggs the baker would need, we can also multiply the number of eggs in the original recipe by 3:

3 eggs × 3 = 9 eggs

So the baker would need 9 eggs to make bread with 24 cups of flour.
