Question

2 Chika found four different recipes for banana bread. The number of eggs and bananas used in each recipe are shown in this table. Recipe BANANA BREAD RECIPES Number of Number of Eggs Bananas 3 6 A 4. 2 B 1 3 С D 3 8. Which two recipes use the same ratio of eggs to bananas?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

The ratio (r) between the # of eggs and the # of bananas in each recipe is given by the quotient:

`r=\frac{\text{ \# of bananas}}{\text{ \# of eggs}}.`

We compute the ratio of each recipe:

`\begin{gathered} r_A=(3)/(6)=0.5, \\ r_B=(2)/(4)=0.5, \\ r_C=(1)/(3)\cong0.333, \\ r_D=(3)/(8)=0.375. \end{gathered}`

We see that we have:

`r_A=r_B=0.5.`

We conclude that recipe A and B use the same ratio of eggs

Answer

A. Recipe A and recipe B.
