Question

You need 3 sticks of butter for evey 24 cookies you bakecomplete the table using equivalent ratios

Answer 1

You need 3 sticks for every 24 cookies

So the ratio is

`(3)/(24)`

Let us use the equivalent ratio to solve the question

We need to find how many stickers for 16 cookies

`(3)/(24)=(?)/(16)`

By using cross multiplication we will find the missing number

`3*16=?*24`
`48=\text{?}*24`

Divide both sides by 24 to find ?

`\begin{gathered} (48)/(24)=\text{?}*(24)/(24) \\ 2=\text{?} \end{gathered}`

The missing number is 2

let us do the second one

we need to find how many cookies for 5 sticks

`(3)/(24)=(5)/(?)`

Use cross multiplication

`3*?=24*5`
`3*?\text{ =120}`

Divide both sides by 3

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(3)*?\text{ =}(120)/(3) \\ \text{? =40} \end{gathered}`

The missing number is 40
