A recipe calls for 3 eggs, 1 cups of flour, and 2 tablespoons of butter. How much flour would you need if you use 6 eggs?

The original recipe calls for 3 eggs and 1 cup of flour. If you plan to use 6 eggs, which is double the amount of eggs, you'll need to double the amount of flour as well.

So, for 6 eggs:
\[
1 \text{ cup of flour} \times 2 = 2 \text{ cups of flour}
\]

Therefore, you'll need 2 cups of flour if you use 6 eggs.
