Question

A recipe that makes 2 loafs of whole wheat bread requires 1/3 cup of brown sugar. If Megan wants to make 7 loaves of bread, how much brown sugar will she require?

a. 1 1/3
b. 1 1/6
c. 1 1/2
d. 1 2/3

Answer 1

//Use ratios between each to find out how much she needs

2:7 ratio needed of bread
1/3: x ratio of brown sugar

1:7/2
1/3 * 7/2 = 7/6 cups

Although I don't see this as an option, this is correct?
