Question

A cookie recipe uses 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla with 3/4 cup of flour. How much vanilla should be used with five cups of flour?

Answer 1

we are given

A cookie recipe uses 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla with 3/4 cup of flour

so,

`(3)/(4) flour=(1)/(2)vanilla`

we can find for 1 cup of flour

so, we will multiply both sides by 4/3

`(4)/(3)* (3)/(4) flour=(4)/(3)* (1)/(2)vanilla`

`1 flour=(2)/(3)vanilla`

now, we can find for 5 cup of flour

so, we will multiply both sides by 5

and we get

`5* 1 flour=5*(2)/(3)vanilla`

`5 flour=(10)/(3)vanilla`...............Answer
