Question

what is 6 cups of flour and 2/3 cup of butter write the ratio of the amount of flour to the amount of butter as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

So if we want the ratio of flour to butter in fraction form, we want the amount of butter to be on top:
`(9)/( (2)/(3) )`

However, it needs to be in simplest form, which means not a complex fraction. To make it a simple fraction, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:

`(9)/(1) * (3)/(2) = (18)/(2) = (9)/(1)`

So, the ratio of flour to butter is
`(9 cups of flour)/(1 cup of butter)` (the text in the fraction formatted weirdly, sorry about that)

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :)
