    2 dozens = 24 cupcakes.

    5 dozens = 60cupcakes.

    1.5/24 = 0.0625 cups of flour / cupcake.

    0.0625 x 60 = 3.75 cups of flour.

    = 3 3/4 cups of flour.

    Either ratio or proportion or recognize that

    2 times 2.5=5, so 1 and 1/2 times 2.5=amount needed

    assuming you don't know that

    ratio and proportion

    pancakes/flour=2/1.5

    2/1.5=5/x

    times both sides by 1.5x

    2x=7.5

    divide both sides by 2

    x=3.75 cups
