Answer:

The ratio is 1/2 : 2.

The value of the ratio is 1/4.

The amount of salt in the recipe is 1/4 the amount of flour.

Explanation:

The ratio of the salt to flour is the amount of salt and the amount of flour

1/2 cup salt and 2 cups flour would be 1/2 : 2 The value of a ratio is the ratio simplified (if we make the 1/2 a whole number we would multiply both sides of the ratio by 2 to get 1:4 or 1/4).

1/2 cup is a fourth of 2 cups

I'm not super familiar with ratio values but I'm pretty sure this is correct.
