Question

At a​ café, the cook uses a recipe that calls for eggs and milk. The amounts of eggs and milk have a proportional relationship.

Answer 1

Eggs 2 3 4

Milk 6 9 12

Ratio 3/1 3/1 3/1

Explanation:

Look at the second column with 2 eggs and 6 cups of milk.

6 cups milk and 2 eggs. The ratio of the number of cups of milk to number of eggs is 6/2, which is the same as 3/1 in the second column. The number of cups of milk is always 3 times the number of eggs.

If you know the number of eggs, multiply by 3 to get the number of cups of milk. 3 * 3 = 9 in the third column.

If you know the number of cups of milk, divide by 3 to get the number of eggs. 12/3 = 4 in the fourth column.
