Question

A cheesecake recipe says, “Mix 12 oz of cream cheese with 15 oz of sugar.”

How many ounces of cream cheese are there for every ounce of sugar?

Answer 1

4/5 of cream cheese per ounce of sugar

Explanation:

If you turn 12 and 15 to a fraction it would be 12/15 so from there we can simplify to 4/5 and can’t simplify it anymore thus giving the answer 4/5 or 4/5 ounce of cream cheese per 1 ounce of sugar. Hope this helps!
