Question

a recipe for 1 handmade pizza calls for 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour. Showing your work below, how many cups of all purpose flour would you need to use to make 3 handmade pizzas?

Answer 1

You need to use the cross product method to find your answer :

1 pizza = 2 ½ cups
3 pizzas = × cups

((2 ½) • 3) ÷ 1 = × cups

7 ½ ÷ 1 = × cups

7 ½ = × cups

⇨ So your answer is: You would need to use 7 ½ cups of flour to make 3 handmade pizzas!

There you go. I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻
