Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 cup of sugar is used with 2 1/2 pounds of flour.
1 cup ...................................... 2 1/2 / 1/4 ................

Answer: 10 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this using proportion
2 1/2 pounds = 1/4 cups
x = 1 cups
we change 2 1/2 to improper fractions => 5/2
5/2 pounds = 1/4 cups
x = 1 cups
cross multiply
5/2 = 1/4 x
5/2 = x / 4
cross multiply
2x = 20
Divide bothside by 2
2x/2 = 20/2
x = 10
Therefore 10 pounds of flour is use for 1 cup
