Answer: Clyde would need 2/3 cups more flour for the recipe.
Explanation:
I'm going to solve this by using a two-step equation. A two-step equation is an equation where you can find the variable in only 2 easy steps, and ourut variable is going to be c, to represent the amount of flour Clyde needs for the recipe.
The equation we are going to use for this is:
2c + 1 1/3 = 2 2/3. We can get this equation by the 2 cups of flour for 2, and we put the c behind the 2 because that represents the amount of flour that Clyde needs. The 1 1/3 is from how much the recipe requires, and the 2 2/3 is from 1 1/3 + 1 1/3, which is 2 2/3.
Now, we can solve for the variable:
When your solving for a one-step or two-step equation, you have to do the order of operations inverse. For example, the opposite of addition is subtraction.
So, the opposite of addition is subtraction so we are going to subtract 1 1/3 by 1 1/3 which is 0, so when we subtract it by 2 2/3 it gives us 1 1/3.
So that was our first step.
Our next and finale step is diving, becuase the opoosite of multiplaction is divison. Now we divide 1 1/3 by 2, which gives us 2/3.
So, our ultimate answer;
x=2/3.
