Question 1200698: You want to perfect your homemade pizza crust, so you decide to do a little experiment. You want to compare different kinds of flour to see which one makes the best pizza crust. Your problem is that the recipes you have all give the amount of flour in ounces, and you only have cups.
The table below gives the conversions between volume and ounces of different kinds of flour.
Kind of Flour: Volume: Ounces:
Bread Flour: 1 cup: 4.5
European-Style Artisan Bread Flour: 1 cup: 3.75
Perfect Pizza Blend Flour: 1 cup: 4.25
White Whole Wheat Flour: 1 cup: 4.75
Unbleached All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup: 4
Given that your recipe calls for 10.75 ounces of European-Style Artisan Bread Flour how many cups will you need? Enter your answer as a fraction or decimal.

All you need is to divide the number of 10.75 by the number 3.75.

If you manage to divide correctly, the quotient will be your answer.

You may use your calculator or make your division "by hand" - choose any way you want.

Happy calculations (!)
