Final answer:

The ratio of cups of flour to cups of other dry ingredients in the recipe is 1/3, with 1 cup of flour and 3 cups of other dry ingredients.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question asks for the ratio of cups of flour to other dry ingredients in a recipe. Since the recipe calls for a total of 4 cups of dry ingredients, and 1 cup out of the 4 is flour, this leaves 3 cups of other dry ingredients. The ratio can be written as a fraction with the number of cups of flour as the numerator and the number of cups of other ingredients as the denominator.

The ratio of cups of flour to cups of other dry ingredients is therefore 1 cup flour to 3 cups other ingredients, which is expressed as the fraction 1/3.

1 being the cup of flour and 3 are the remaining cups of other ingredients.
