4
stick of butter. If Jeremiah uses 3 sticks of butter, how many cups of flour will he need?

Answer 1

Explanation:

"If Jeremiah makes a recipe that calls for 112 cups of flour and 3/4 stick of butter, and he uses 3 sticks of butter instead, you can set up a proportion to find how much flour he will need. One way to do this is to divide the amount of butter he used by the amount of butter the recipe calls for, and then multiply that by the amount of flour the recipe calls for. So, you get:

(3 sticks of butter) / (3/4 stick of butter) = 4

4 * (112 cups of flour) = 448 cups of flour

Therefore, Jeremiah will need 448 cups of flour if he uses 3 sticks of butter. Does that help?"
