Answer 1

Answer:

(1 2 ÷ 3) (2 1 ÷ 2) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is

Let us assume x be the amount of flour she will need in cups.

Now

1 2 ÷ 3 becomes 5 ÷ 3

2 1 ÷ 3 becomes 5 ÷ 2

Now multiply each number  

(5 ÷ 3)(5 ÷ 2) = x  

25 ÷ 6 = x

Hence, (1 2 ÷ 3) (2 1 ÷ 2) = x this would be the equation
