Question

Brownies are made using small cups of sugar, flour, and cocoa powder mixed in the ratio 1:3:2.

How many cups of cocoa powder are need for 4 cups of sugar?

Answer 1

Answer:8 cups of cocoa powder

Step-by-step explanation: Sugar:Flour:Cocoa - 1:3:2

For each cup of sugar - 3 flour
For three Flour: 2 Cocoa

so for four cups of sugar 1x4 = 4
Flour - 3x4 = 12

Cocoa - 2x4 = 8
Final Answer: 4:12:8

Answer 2

8 cups of cocoa

Explanation:

1:3:2, where 1 is sugar, 3 is flour, and 2 is cocoa.

Because question doesn't ask for flour, ignore that:

1:2, where 1 is sugar, and 2 is cocoa

to get to 4 cups of sugar, you need to multiply by original 1 cup by 4.

so, multiply both sides by 4.

1*4=4

2*4=8

your new ratio is 4:8, where 4 is sugar, and 8 is cocoa.

So, you would need 8 cocoa, if u did 4 sugar
