A recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of flour. How many cups will you need if you are preparing 3 batches of the recipe?

Answer 1

1/3=.3333333. that times 3 batches would =1 (.99999999)

2cups times 3 batches=6 cups

so total you would need 7 cups

or 2 1/3 cups (2.33333333) times 3=7 (6.99999999)

I do accounting but bake also. the so smal difference 7 vs 6.999999999 is negligible
