A pancake recipe calls for 0.75 cups of flour. Linda is making 5 batches. She already has 2.5 cups of flour. How many more cups does she need? (Show your work)
Each batch needs 0.75 cups, so multiply that by 5 batches to get 3.75 cups total. Since she already has 2.5, you can subtract that from the total of 3.75 cups to get 1.25 cups of flour needed.
