    Answer:you will need 2/5 teaspoons of red pepper

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for every 1 1/4 teaspoons of black pepper.

    Let the number of teaspoons of red pepper that you will need if you see only one teaspoon of black pepper be x. Therefore

    If 1/2 teaspoon of red requires 5/4 teaspoon of black

    x teaspoon of red will require 1 teaspoon of back pepper

    Cross multiplying

    1 * 1/2 = x * 5/4

    5x = 4*1/2 = 2

    x = 2/5
