Question

4.2 Jaleel and Angel buy a 20-cup bag of

sugar and divide it evenly to make their

recipes. If they each use all of their sugar,

how much flour do they each need?

Answer 1

They each need 10 cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much flour they each need, we need to know the number of cups of sugar in the 20-cup bag. Since they divide the bag evenly, each of them will have 20/2 = 10 cups of sugar.

Now, let's consider the recipe for pound cake which requires 1 pound of sugar and 1 pound of flour. Since both Jaleel and Angel have 10 cups of sugar each, they would also need 10 cups of flour each to make their recipes.
