Litzy Mclean · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Y/X = 1.25/1 so place the amount of flour required in the denominator and multiply the denominator amount by 1.25 to find the amount of sugar

This problem appears to be missing equation choices.

Winston Porter · Answer 2

y = 1.25x

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement indicates that the recipe calls for 1.25 cups of sugar for each cup of flour. This means that to be able to determine the cups of sugar (y) required, we will have to multiply the number of cups of flour (x) for 1.25 that represents the cups of sugar needed for each cup of flour. So, according to that, the equation would be:

y = 1.25x
