Answer:

<u>14 cups of flour are needed for 1 cup of sugar.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a ratio.

cups of flour : cups of sugar

1 3/4 : 1/8

? : 1

We know that you must multiply by 8 to get from 1/8 to 1. Now we have to do the same to the other side. So, multiply 1 3/4 by 8.

1 3/4 * 8 = 14

Therefore, 14 cups of flour are needed for 1 cup of sugar.
