Question

Eric is baking cupcakes. He uses 3 cups of flour and 1 cup of sugar. If Dyson makes the same cupcakes and uses 6 cups of flour and 3 cups of sugar did he use the correct ratio

Answer 1

No!

Explanation:

3 cups=flour

1 cup=sugar

If Dyson makes the same cupcakes and uses 6 cups of flour and 3 cups of

sugar it would be incorrect.

The ratio of the original recipe would be 3:1, if he wanted to triple it, it would be 6 cups of flour to 2 cups of sugar.

Explanation: Flour is always 3 times sugar!

Answer 2

No because he is using double the flour and 3 cups of sugar.
