Answer 1

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given details

`\begin{gathered} Pizza\text{ }dough\text{ }recipe=6(1)/(2)flour \\ Recipe\text{ }makes\text{ }37(1)/(2)ounces\text{ of dough} \end{gathered}`

STEP 2: Find how many ounces of dough 1 cup of flour makes

`\begin{gathered} 6(1)/(2)flour=37(1)/(2)ounces \\ 1\text{ cup of }flour=x\text{ ounces} \end{gathered}`

Cross multiply to have;

`\begin{gathered} (13x)/(2)=(75)/(2) \\ 13x\cdot2=75\cdot2 \\ 26x=150 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 26

`\begin{gathered} (26x)/(26)=(150)/(26) \\ x=(75)/(13) \\ x=5(10)/(13) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is
