The sugar information is useless. Ignore it. It is telling you that one recipe requires 3.25C flour. How much does two recipes take?

(keep the units in the same place in the proportion on both sides flour over recipe = flour over recipe)
Your proportion should set up like this:
3.25/1 = x/2
Cross Multiply
x=6.5
Make sure when reporting your solutions you include the units... 6.5Cups
To check, plug the value for x back into the original proportion and work it through.
