Clyde is baking, and the recipe requires 1 1/3 cups of flour. Clyde has 2 cups of flour, but he is doubling the recipe to make twice as much. How much more flour does Clyde need? Write an equation to represent the problem. Let c represent the amount of flour Clyde needs, and then solve it.

Answer 1

Clyde needs 2/3 cup more.

Explanation:

The equation can be:

C = 2 - 2( 1 1/3 )

If Clyde is doubling the recipe, he will need 2 2/3 cups of flour. 2 2/3 minus 2 (the amount he has) will give you your answer.
