Answer:
5 cups of flour.
Step-by-step explanation:
I know the wording of the problem may be confusing at first, but if you look at it a little bit, it's just multiplication and division.
To start,
12 biscuits require 2 cups of flour,
meaning that 6 biscuits (half of the original) only require 1 cup.
<u>(12/2 = 6)</u>
Next,
We need to find how much flour is in 30 biscuits.
We know that 1 cup is in 6 biscuits, and if you were to find how much was in 30 biscuits, you would just need to divide 30 by 6.
<u>(30/6 = 5)</u>
5 cups of flour would be your answer.
To put it mathematically,
(12/2 = 6), (30/6 = 5)
