Question

You are going to make cookies for a party. The recipe requires 3 cups of flour, 2 cups of chocolate chips and other ingredients. I also need to write an equivalent ratio that shows how much you need to double the original recipe, can someone help?

Answer 1

Ratio of flour to chocolate = 6 : 4

= 3 : 2

Explanation:

Original recipe

Flour = 3 cups

Chocolate = 2 cups

Ratio of flour to chocolate = 3 : 2

To double the original recipe

Flour = 3 cups × 2

Chocolate = 2 cups × 2

Flour = 6 cups

Chocolate = 4 cups

Ratio of flour to chocolate = 6 : 4

= 3 : 2
