To find out how much flour is needed, you take 3 2/3 cups (of flour and sugar) - 1/4 cup (sugar) = (flour).

 3 2/3    =     3 8/12
-   1/4    =        3/12
__________________ ...... That equals 3 5/12 cups of flour.

Answer:

The amount of needed flour is [tex]3\frac{5}{12}[/tex] cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that recipe calls for a total of [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups flour and sugar. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of sugar.

[tex]3\frac{2}{3}=\frac{9+2}{3}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]

[tex]recipe=flour+sugar[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{3}=flour+\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Subtract 1/4 from both the sides.

[tex]\frac{11}{3}-\frac{1}{4}=flour+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{44-3}{12}=flour[/tex]

[tex]\frac{41}{12}=flour[/tex]

[tex]3\frac{5}{12}=flour[/tex]

Therefore, the amount of needed flour is [tex]3\frac{5}{12}[/tex] cups.
