Sierra has a recipe she wants to make. She has to use eggs and sticks of butter. The ratio for these ingredients is 12 to 4 to make 4 batches. What will the equivalent ratio be if she wants to make 8 batches?

In order to make twice as many batches, you need to double the ingredients...
so you need 24 eggs and 8 sticks of butter (a ratio of 24 to 8, or 24:8)

Then it would be 24:8
