Question

8. 1 cup of sugar is used for every 3

cups of flour in a recipe How much
flour is needed if you use 5 cups of
sugar?

Answer 1

if you use 5 cups of sugar in the recipe, you would need 15 cups of flour.

Explanation:

If 1 cup of sugar is used for every 3 cups of flour in a recipe, we can use the given ratio to determine the amount of flour needed when using 5 cups of sugar.

The ratio is 1 cup of sugar to 3 cups of flour. To find the amount of flour needed, we can set up a proportion:

1 cup of sugar / 3 cups of flour = 5 cups of sugar / x cups of flour.

Cross-multiplying the proportions:

1 * x = 3 * 5,

x = 15.
