    80g

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here's why:

    SO you have 2:3 ratio which means the ratio for grams of butter/grams of flour has to be 2:3.

    So we set up the following equation:

    2/3 = 640/x (solve for x)

    x = 960g

    960g is what you should have to get to ratio, but the question is asking how much more you need from the initial given flour.

    So you need (suppose x is the grams of flour you need)

    x+880g = 960g (solve for x)

    x=80g
