8×2=16 which means were at 20 for cups of flower then add 4 half both and you get 25 for bread dough for every 20 tablespoons of honey

To find out how many cups of flour the bakery uses with 20 tablespoons of honey, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio of honey to flour.

The ratio is 8 tablespoons of honey for every 10 cups of flour.

Let's set up the proportion:

8 tablespoons / 10 cups = 20 tablespoons / x cups

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

8x = 10 * 20
8x = 200

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:

x = 200 / 8
x = 25

Therefore, the bakery would use 25 cups of flour with 20 tablespoons of honey.
