Jason is baking a cake. The recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar for every 5 cups of flour. If he is making a small cake and is only using 1 cup sugar, how many cups of flour should he use? *

2 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

First, our ratio is sugar:flour or 2:5, so our question is 1:? We find ? by finding how we got to 1 on the other side.

2 ÷ 2 = 1

And what we do to one side, we always have to do to the other to make it proportional, so

5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 or 2 1/2

So, if Jason is using 1 cup of sugar, he should use 2 1/2 cups of flour

hope this helps

darn right!
