Question

A recipe had 4 tablespoons of seasoning to 6 cups of flour. So there is _____ of a tablespoon of seasoning for each cup of flour.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The ratio of seasoning to flour is 4:6.

This can also b re-written as a fraction. The fraction would be 4/6.

If you want to find the amount of seasoning per cup of flour, you must divide.

4/6 Divide the denominator (bottom number) by 6 to get a 1 on the bottom. Now divide the numerator (top number) be the same amount. This gives you a 0.66 on the top. Now you have 0.66/1.

0.66 is equivalent to 2/3, so for every 1 cup of flour, there is 2/3 a tablespoon of seasoning.

Hope this helps!
