Please help me (30 points) 1. A recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of flour, 3/4 cups of white sugar, and 1/3 cups of brown sugar. The recipe makes 6 servings. How many cups of flour are there per serving? Show your work. Suppose you modify the recipe to triple the number of servings. How much flour do you need for the modified recipe? Show your work.

Lets find how much flour we need for just one serving.

2 2/3 ÷ 6

8/3 ÷ 6

8/3 * 1/6

8/18

4/9 cup of flour per serving

If we triple the recipe (6 * 3 = 18), we will have a total of 18 servings. Multiply the amount of flour we got for one serving to 18 servings.

4/9 * 18/1

72/9

8 cups of flour for 18 servings

Best of Luck!
