Question

How many cups of cream would you need for 7 cups of sugar?

Answer 1

You would need 28 cups of ice cream for 7 cups of sugar.

For 1 cup of sugar you would need 4 cups of ice cream so we multiply 4 by 7 to find the answer.

Answer 2

28 cups of cream.

Explanation:

With the information given in the table, we can set up a ratio:

4:1 = x:7 (where x is the unknown). If you multiply the denominator by 7 then you also have to multiply the numerator by 7 as well. Therefore, 4 * 7 is 28.

Hope this helps :)
