Question

You are making a colorful cake for a birthday party and need to use 2 drops of food coloring for every 5 ounces of icing. How many drops of food coloring do you need if you are using 40 ounces of icing?

Answer 1

Answer: 16 drops

Step-by-step explanation: For every 2 drops is 5 ounces. We can set up an equation such as: 2/5*8/8=16/40. If you divide 40/5 you get 8, and now multiply by 2, you get 16.
