Question

The cookie recipe had the ratio of oatmeal to raisins as 5 to 1. If 6 cups of oatmeal is required, how

many cups of raisins are needed?

Answer 1

1.2 cups of raisins or 1 and 1/5 cups of raisins. (Same thing) :)

Explanation:

6/5 is 1.2. So multiply the 1 by 1.2 as well to get 1.2. This was solved by using proportions.

Hope it helps!
