Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the recipe requires an eighth of a cup of flour (1/8 or 0.125) but in total Steve has 2 and a half, that is (2 1/2 or 2.5). To know the result we must divide the total amount by what is needed for 1 recipe, that is:
2.5 / 0.125 = 20
Which means that Steve with the flour he has can make the same recipe a total of 20 times
