Group of answer choices

16

8

1/16

9

Answer 1

16 bestie the reason for this is since she has 8 pounds of flour but only uses 1/2 of flour per batch you multiply 8 by 2 because it’s half if she can make a batch with only 1/2 a cup of flour and she has 8 pounds of flour then you multiply the 8 by 2 to get 16
