Question

The ratio of sugar to flour is 2:5.Create a table in which each entry represents amounts if sugar and flour that might be used at the same time in your recipe. • One entry should have amounts where you have fewer than 25 cups of flour. • One entry should have amounts where you have between 20 - 30 cups of sugar. • One entry should have any amount using more than 500 units if flour.

Answer 1

The ratio of sugar to flour is 2/5

sugar /flour =2/5

For fewer than 25 cups of flour

For example 5 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar:

For between 20-30 cups of sugar, for example, 24 cups of sugar:

2/5 =24/x

x=24/(2/5)= 60 cups of flour

For more than 500 units if flour, for example, 1500

2/5 = y/1500

(2/5) 1500 = y

600 cups of sugar.=y
