Question

4A recipe calls for the ratio of sugar to flour to be 8: 5. If there are 24 tablespoons of sugar in the recipe,how many tablespoons of flour would be required?

Answer 1

The ratio of sugar to flour is 8:5. The amount of sugar present in the recipe is 24 table spoon.

Therefore,

total ratio = 13

total table spoon = a

`\begin{gathered} (8)/(13)* a=24 \\ 8a=312 \\ a=(312)/(8) \\ a=39 \\ \text{flour}=\text{ 39-24=15 table spoon} \end{gathered}`
