Answer 1

Answer:

Im pretty sure it's 5.25 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know that it takes 3 cups for 8 people and we don't know the amount for 14 people so write it as a fraction and cross multipy

For the equation

8/3=14/x

The cross product is

8*x=3*14

Solving for x

x=3×14/8

and reducing

x=5.25
