Question

22 A recipe for soup has a ratio of 3 cups of tomatoes to 1 cup of corn. If Amanda has 1 cup of tomatoes, how much corn will she need to keep the ratio equivalent? A. 1 3 cups B. 3 cups C. 3 1 cups 1 cups​

Answer 1

3/1 cups

Explanation:

For this problem, you are finding the equivalent ratio of 3/1. To find the equivalent ratio of that fraction, you have to multiply (or divide) both quantities by the same number. (in this case the quantities are 3 and 1)

Basically the same as finding equivalent fractions since ratios are a comparison of two numbers by division (fractions involve dividing)

Therefore, the answer is 3/1 cups. (There are also equivalent ratio calculators online to help as well)

Hope that helped! :)
