Question

Maggie Accidentally put 9 tablespoons of brown sugar in the mixing bowl. How many tablespoons of mustard should she add to keep the recipe consistent?

A)1 Tablespoons
B)2 Tablespoons
C)3 Tablespoons
D)4 Tablespoons

Answer 1

First, you should find the ratio of how much more sugar Maggie added. Set it up like this:

6x = 9

x = 9/6

x = 3/2

We now know that Maggie added 3/2 more sugar than she was supposed to. To keep consistent with recipe, we have to multiply this ratio with the amount the recipe calls for:

3/2(2) = 3

Maggie should add 3 tablespoons of mustard.
