Question

Koalas bake sweet potato pies. The total shows the ratio of cups of sugar to the number of pies. How many cups of sugar will they need to make 14 pies?

a) 7
b) 14
c) 28
d) 56

Answer 1

The ratio of cups of sugar to the number of pies is:

c) 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question states that Koalas bake sweet potato pies, and the total shows the ratio of cups of sugar to the number of pies. To find out how many cups of sugar they need to make 14 pies, we can use the given ratio. The ratio is not explicitly provided, but we can infer it from the answer choices.

Let's analyze the options:

a) 7 cups of sugar for 1 pie

b) 14 cups of sugar for 1 pie

c) 28 cups of sugar for 1 pie

d) 56 cups of sugar for 1 pie

The correct answer must be the one that gives the right ratio for making 14 pies. If we consider option c) 28 cups of sugar for 1 pie, then for 14 pies, it would be 28 * 14 = 392 cups of sugar.

So, the final answer is c) 28, and Koalas will need 28 cups of sugar to bake 14 sweet potato pies.

In summary, the ratio in option c) provides the correct amount of sugar for each pie, and multiplying it by the number of pies (14) gives us the total amount of sugar needed, which is 392 cups.
