Answer:you will need 2/5 teaspoons of red pepper
Step-by-step explanation:
The recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for every 1 1/4 teaspoons of black pepper.
Let the number of teaspoons of red pepper that you will need if you see only one teaspoon of black pepper be x. Therefore
If 1/2 teaspoon of red requires 5/4 teaspoon of black
x teaspoon of red will require 1 teaspoon of back pepper
Cross multiplying
1 × 1/2 = x × 5/4
5x = 4×1/2 = 2
x = 2/5
