Answer:


{\huge\red{\fbox{{࿐αɴѕωєя࿐}}}}

Recipe A:

Cups of flour used = 3

Rolls made = 12

Cups of flour per roll


= (3)/(12) \\ = (1)/(4) \\ = 0.25

Recipe B:

Cups of flour used = 5

Rolls made = 24

Cups of flour per roll


(5)/(24) \\ = 0.20

Recipe C:

Cups of flour used = 11

Rolls made = 48

Cups of flour per roll


(11)/(48) \\ = 0.22

Now compare Recipe A, B & C.


0.25 > 0.22 > 0.20

Recipe A > Recipe C > Recipe B.

✏ So, Recipe A used the most cups of flour per roll (option a).
