The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{17}{8} \) - \( \frac{10}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{7}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

8\( \sqrt{9} \) x 6\( \sqrt{8} \)
(8 x 6)\( \sqrt{9 \times 8} \)
48\( \sqrt{72} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

48\( \sqrt{72} \)
48\( \sqrt{2 \times 36} \)
48\( \sqrt{2 \times 6^2} \)
(48)(6)\( \sqrt{2} \)
288\( \sqrt{2} \)

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
