10/10 - 1 pan of pudding so 10 x 1/6 = 10/6 or 1 4/6 or 1 2/3 grams are needed

Think: 1/6 gram honey for 1/10 pan of pudding. What if we mult. both sides by 10?

Then we have 10/6 gram honey for 10/10 (or 1) pan of pudding. This rerduces to 5/3 gram of honey (answer)

You could also solve this by setting up and solving an equation of 2 ratios:

1/6 1/10
----- = ----------
x 10/10
