<h2>Number of cups of corn starch required for the recipe = 12.5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total starch required = 5 cups

Measurement of measuring cup = 2/5 cups.

Number of cups required = Total starch required ÷ Measurement of measuring cup

$\texttt{Number of cups required = }\frac{5}{\frac{2}{5}}\\\\\texttt{Number of cups required = }\frac{25}{2}\\\\\texttt{Number of cups required = }12.5cups$

Number of cups of corn starch required for the recipe = 12.5
