Question

A recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of cinnamon for every 4 cups of flour. If you use 6 cups of flour, how much cinnamon would you need?

Answer 1

3 teaspoons 4 cups
A teaspoons 6 cups
A equals 4 1/2 because for every 3 teaspoons is 4 cups
So 6 teaspoons is 8 cups. Between 8 and 4 is 6. Between 3 and 6 is 4 1/2

Answer 2

3(cinnamon) =4(flour)
X(cinnamon)=6(flour)
6/4=1.5
3x1.5=4.5
