Answer:
[tex]2\frac{1}{12}[/tex] cups of sugar required for 5 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of cups of sugar required for 3 cups of flour =[tex]1 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Number of cups of sugar required for 3 cups of flour = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
Number of cups of sugar required for 1 cup of flour [tex]=\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{3}[/tex]
Number of cups of sugar required for 5 cups of flour =[tex]\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{3} \times 5[/tex]
Number of cups of sugar required for 5 cups of flour =[tex]\frac{25}{12}[/tex]
Number of cups of sugar required for 5 cups of flour =[tex]2\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
Hence [tex]2\frac{1}{12}[/tex] cups of sugar required for 5 cups of flour
