Given that a recipe calls for flour and cocoa at a ratio of 3: 1 cups

The table below shows the different proportional amounts.

SOLUTION

If the amount of cocoa is 1, let the amount of flour would be x, hence,


\begin{gathered} 3\colon1=x\colon1 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

If the amount of flour is 2, let the amount of cocoa be y


\begin{gathered} 3\colon1=2\colon y \\ (3)/(1)=(2)/(y) \\ y=(2)/(3) \end{gathered}
