Lets find how much flour we need for just one serving.
2 2/3 ÷ 6
8/3 ÷ 6
8/3 * 1/6
8/18
4/9 cup of flour per serving
If we triple the recipe (6 * 3 = 18), we will have a total of 18 servings. Multiply the amount of flour we got for one serving to 18 servings.
4/9 * 18/1
72/9
8 cups of flour for 18 servings
Best of Luck!
Let the number be represented by x
2x=60+ 5x -20*2=60+5*-20
2x-5x=5x-5x+60 -40=60+-100
-3x=60 -40=-40
-3x/-3=60/-3
x=-20
Therefore the number is -20
