A baker at Rods bakery misreads the direction and uses 5 34 cups of flour in a recipe this is 1 times too much what correctamount to use?

Here's how to solve the problem:

* Divide the incorrect amount by 1.5: 5 3/4 cups divided by 1.5

* Convert the mixed number to a fraction: 5 3/4 = (5 * 4 + 3) / 4 = 23/4

* Divide the fraction: (23/4) / (3/2) = 23/4 * 2/3 = 46/12

* Simplify the fraction: 46/12 = 3 10/12 = 3 5/6

The correct amount of flour to use is 3 5/6 cups.
