Question

A certain recipe calls for 2/5 cup of flour. A chef is making an amount that is 5/7 of the recipe. How much flour should the chef use?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The recipe need $\frac{2}{5}$ cups of flour.

Also, the chef is making the amount which is $\frac{5}{7}$ of the recipe.

Thus, the total amount of the flour required will be,

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{5}{7}$ = $\frac{2}{7}$ cups.

Hence, the chef should use $\frac{2}{7}$ cups of flour.
