Answer:

2/3 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucas recipe needed 5/6 cup of flour.

Sarah's recipe needed 1/6 cup of flour.

The difference


\begin{gathered} \text{Difference}=(5)/(6)-(1)/(6) \\ =(4)/(6) \\ =(2)/(3)\text{ cups} \end{gathered}

Therefore, Lucas needed 2/3 cups more of flour.
