The directions for a food coloring used in frosting say to use 1/8 of coloring for every 2 cups of frosting. If you increase the amount of frosting to 3 cups, which proportion can she use to determine the new amount of coloring needed?

Answer:

1/8 divided by the 2 cups is 1/16

1/16 times 3 is 3/16
