Question

A cake recipe requires flour and sugar in a ratio of 4 to 3. Which table has been generated using this ratio?

Answer 1

I think the third one because they are all multiples of 3

Answer 2

The third table

Explanation:

A ratio is a relationship that illustrates how many times one number contains another. For example, the ratio of 4:3 means there is 4 cups of flour for every 3 cups of sugar. The third table is the only one that increases proportionate to the ratio. This can be seen because when 4 is multiplied by 3 to get 12, so is 3 to get 9. This pattern continues, with both amounts being multiplied by the same number.
