SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given details

$\begin{gathered} Pizza\text{ }dough\text{ }recipe=6\frac{1}{2}flour \\ Recipe\text{ }makes\text{ }37\frac{1}{2}ounces\text{ of dough} \end{gathered}$

STEP 2: Find how many ounces of dough 1 cup of flour makes

$\begin{gathered} 6\frac{1}{2}flour=37\frac{1}{2}ounces \\ 1\text{ cup of }flour=x\text{ ounces} \end{gathered}$

Cross multiply to have;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{13x}{2}=\frac{75}{2} \\ 13x\cdot2=75\cdot2 \\ 26x=150 \end{gathered}$

Divide both sides by 26

$\begin{gathered} \frac{26x}{26}=\frac{150}{26} \\ x=\frac{75}{13} \\ x=5\frac{10}{13} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is
