Answer:

Mom needs 8 sups of flour and 18 eggs to make some cakes according to recipe.

Mom need to buy 6 cups of flour and one dozen of eggs from the store to make some cakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mom has two cups of flour but the recipe needs four times as much flour.

Number of cups of flour mom has = 2 cups

But recipe required 4 time the cup mom has.

Number of Cups of flour recipe required = [tex]4\times 2 =8\ cups[/tex]

Also Given:

Mom has one-half dozen eggs but the recipe needs three times as many eggs.

Now we know that 1 dozen =12 eggs

so one and half dozen = 6 eggs

Number of eggs mom has = 6 eggs.

Now recipe requires 3 times number of eggs.

Number of eggs recipe required = [tex]3\times6 =18\ eggs[/tex]

We need to find the total amount of eggs and flour mom need to bake the cakes.

Hence Mom needs 8 sups of flour and 18 eggs to make some cakes according to recipe.

Also we need to find  total amount of flour and eggs Mom has to buy at the store.

Total amount of flour need to buy from store is equal to Number of Cups of flour recipe required minus Number of cups of flour mom has.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total amount of flour need to buy from store = 8 - 2 = 6 cups.

Total number of eggs need to buy from store is equal to Number of eggs recipe required minus Number of eggs mom has.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total number of eggs need to buy from store = 18 - 6 = 12 eggs.

Hence Mom need to buy 6 cups of flour and one dozen of eggs from the store to make some cakes.
