Answer 1

Answer:

3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

$36 : 24 = 4.5 : x$

where $x$ is the amount of flour he should use

Therefore,

$\frac{36}{24} = \frac{4.5}{x}$

Cross multiply:  $36x = 4.5 \times 24$

$\implies 36x = 108$

Divide both sides by 36:  $x = 108 \div 36 = 3$

Therefore, he should use 3 cups of flour
