Question

IF YOU HELP ME WITH THIS I’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!

To make a pie, Jamie needs to put in a ratio of 3/8 of a cup of sugar for every 2 1/4 cups of flour.

Part A
How many cups of sugar would Jamie need for every 1 cup of flour?

Part B
Every pie that Jamie wishes to make today requires 1 1/2 cups of flour. Jamie has 8 cups of flour and 1 cup of sugar available. What is the maximum amount of whole pies that Jamie can make?

Answer 1

•Part A = 1/6 cups of sugar

•Part B = 16/3 pie

Step-by-step explanation

•Part A

3/8 cup of sugar = 2 1/4 cups of flour

1 cups of flour = 3/8 : 2 1/4

= 3/8 : 9/4

= 3/8 × 4/9

= 12/72 = 1/6

•Part B

Every pie = 1 1/2 cups of flour

Available = 8 cups of flour

Max pie = 8 : 1 1/2 = 16/3pie

#Now check if the sugar is enough for 16/3 pie

Sugar needed = 16/3 × 1/6 = 8/8

#8/9 is less than 1, so sugar needed is enough. The pie you can make max is 16/3pie
