Hi,
I add 4+%2811%2F12%29 lbs flower in a baking pan and 2+%281%2F8%29 lbs sugar to bake a cake. We found out later that we need to add 4+%281%2F4%29 lbs more flower to make our cake. How much flower and sugar we will need to make 2 cakes.
4 11/12 + 4 3/12 = 8 14/12 or 9 1/6 cups of flour need for one cake.
2%2855%2F6%29+=+55%2F3 or 18 1/3 lbs flour for two cakes
2+%2817%2F8%29+=+17%2F4 or 4 1/4 lb of sugar for 2 cakes
