If a baker doubles a recipe that calls for 6-2/3 cups of flour, how many cups of flour will be needed in all?
2.5
A bakers' percentage is a system whereby the amount of flour in a recipe (irrespective of what weight the amount of flour is), is thought of as 100%. All the other ingredients are added according to the percentage of the recipe that they constitute, relative to the flour. So flour is always 100%, sugar may be 30% (of the amount of flour), butter 10% (of the amount of flour) etc... The total percentage will not add up to 100% -in fact there is not a 'standard' total.
one eighth

To find out how much flour is needed for 5 dozen cookies, first determine the amount of flour per dozen. Since the recipe uses 4 cups of flour for 3 dozen cookies, that means it requires approximately 1.33 cups of flour per dozen (4 cups ÷ 3 dozen). For 5 dozen cookies, multiply 1.33 cups by 5, which equals about 6.67 cups of flour. Therefore, you will need approximately 6 and 2/3 cups of flour for 5 dozen cookies.
