Question

A cookie recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, 4 cups of flour, and 0.5 cups of butter. Which of the following ratios is incorrect?

Answer 1

Option 3: 4 cups flour: 1 cup butter

Explanation:

The recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, 4 cups of flour, and 0.5 cups of butter.

The ratio between flour and butter is:

`4\text{ cups of flour }\colon0.5\text{ cups of butter}`

However, the third option gave the ratio as:

`4\text{ cups flour }\colon1\text{ cup butter}`

Thus, the ratio in the third option is incorrect.
