The ratio of flour cups to sugar cups can be illustrted as below:

4 cups of flour= 2 cups of of sugar cups

so x cups of flour = 42 cups of sugar

Lets cross multiply :

x * 2 = 4 * 42

2x = 168 ..... divide by 2 both sides :

x =168/2 = 84

• This means 84 cups of flour is needed in order to correspond with 42 cups of sugar.
