When eggs = 2, then potatoes = 5
Eggs: 2
Potatoes: 5
When that is changed to 6 eggs, 2 needs to be multiplied by a number to get 6.
2 * what = 6 or 6/2=
you get the number 3. A fraction is equivalent to a ratio. So if you have 2*3=6 then you need to multiply 5*3 to get the amount of potatoes you need. the answer is 15 potatoes because 5*3=15.
