Question

Sierra has a recipe she wants to make. She has to use eggs and sticks of butter. The ratio for these ingredients is 12 to 4 to make 4 batches. What will the equivalent ratio be if she wants to make 8 batches?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the answer is 24:8

Answer 2

24:8

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Batch = eggs + sticks of butter

4 batches = 12:4

8 batches = 2 * 4 batches

Therefore, 8 batches = 2*(12:4)

8 batches = 24:8

Hence, the equivalent ratio Sierra would use if she wants to make 8 batches is 24 eggs to 8 sticks of butter.
