Question

Jordan's recipe calls for 3 cups of flour and 2 cups of water. what is the ratio of flour to water? if jordan wants to triple his recipe, what will the ratio be?

Answer 1

You would multiply the cups of flour by 3 and the cups of water by 3. which would give you 9 cups of flour and 6 cups of water. the ratio is 1.5 cups of flour to 1 cup of water.

Answer 2

The ratio of flour to water is 3:2.

Explanation:

It is given that Jordan's recipe calls for 3 cups of flour and 2 cups of water.

Flour = 3 cups

Water = 2 cups

We need to find the ratio of flour to water.

`Ratio=(Flour)/(Water)`

`Ratio=(3)/(2)`

`Ratio=3:2`

Therefore the ratio of flour to water is 3:2.

If jordan wants to triple his recipe, then he calls for 9 cups of flour and 6 cups of water. Then the ratio of flour to water is

`Ratio=(9)/(6)`

`Ratio=(3)/(2)`

`Ratio=3:2`

Therefore the new ratio of flour to water is 3:2.
