Question

Tara makes 3030 cups of donut topping by mixing sugar and cinnamon. The ratio of sugar to cinnamon is 3:2.

How much sugar did Tara use in the donut topping?

Answer 1

1818 cups of sugar

Explanation:

First we add the ratio of sugar and cinnamon together,

so 3u + 2u = 5u.

Now to find out what u (unit) is, we divide 3030 by 5.

`5u =3030`

`u = (3030)/(5) = 606`

Since sugar is 3 units, we need to multiply it by 3

`3u = 3(606) = 1818`
