Number of flour (n) for one batch of recipe × batches of bread recipe (b)

129168 cups of flour

Explanation:

According to the question, one recipe for bread requires 414 cups of flour.

I intend making 312 batches of this bread recipe.

Thus, in order to get the number of cups of flour needed to make this batch of bread recipe, we multipy the number of cups of flour needed for one bread recipe (n) by the number of batches of bread recipe about to be made (b).

In this case, n and b are 414 cups and 312 batches respectively.

Hence, we have; number of cups of flour needed for 312 batches of bread recipe=

414 × 312 = 129168

Thus, 129168 cups of flour will be needed to make 312 batches of bread recipe at 414 cups of flour per batch.
