Answer :
We start with the fact that one tablespoon is [tex]$\frac{1}{16}$[/tex] of a cup. This means one cup contains 16 tablespoons. Since the recipe needs 2 cups of flour, we have:
[tex]$$
2 \text{ cups} = 2 \times 16 \text{ tablespoons}.
$$[/tex]
Thus, the computation is:
[tex]$$
2 \div \frac{1}{16} = 2 \times 16 = 32.
$$[/tex]
So, the recipe requires [tex]$\boxed{32}$[/tex] tablespoons of flour.
[tex]$$
2 \text{ cups} = 2 \times 16 \text{ tablespoons}.
$$[/tex]
Thus, the computation is:
[tex]$$
2 \div \frac{1}{16} = 2 \times 16 = 32.
$$[/tex]
So, the recipe requires [tex]$\boxed{32}$[/tex] tablespoons of flour.
