Diana is baking bread, and the original recipe calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons of yeast and 2 1/2 cups of flour. Diana will use the entire contents of a packet that contains 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast and will use the same ratio of ingredients called for in the original recipe. How many cups of flour will Diana use?
Answer:
3 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out how many cups of flour Diana will use, you can set up a proportion.
1 1/2 = 3/2
2 1/2 = 5/2
2 1/4 = 9/4
Floor required for 3/2 teaspoons of yeast = 5/2
Floor required for 9/4 teaspoons of yeast = (5/2 / 3/2) * 9/4
