Question

Ted is making a bread recipe that uses three 1/4 cups of flour and a muffin recipe that uses 2 3/4 cups of flour eggs. How much more flour is in the bread them in the muffin? Me how much flour does tell me to for both recipes

Answer 1

Amount of flour used in bread recipe = $3 \frac{1}{4}$ cups

Amount of flour used in muffin recipe = $2 \frac{3}{4}$ cups

We have to determine how much more flour is in the recipe.

Since, more amount of flour is used in bread recipe than in muffin recipe.

Total amount of more flour = $3 \frac{1}{4} - 2 \frac{3}{4}$

= $\frac{13}{4} - \frac{11}{4}$

= $\frac{2}{4}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{2}$ more cup of flour is used in bread recipe than in muffin recipe.

Now, we will determine the total amount of flour used in both recipe.

Total amount of flour used in bread and muffin recipe

= $3 \frac{1}{4} + 2 \frac{3}{4}$

= $\frac{13}{4} + \frac{11}{4}$

=$\frac{24}{4}$

= 6 cups

Therefore, total 6 cups of flour are used in both the recipes.
