Question

Complete the ratio table

Answer 1

Sugar | Flour

¼ | 1

½ | 2

⅝ | 2½

4 | 16

Explanation:

¼ part of sugar = 1 part flour (given)

Ratio of sugar to flour = ¼ : 1

Use this proportion to complete the table.

✔️Sugar to flour = ¼ : 1

½ : x = ¼ : 1

½/x = ¼/1

cross multiply

x*¼ = 1*½

x/4 = ½

Multiply both sides by 4

x = ½*4

x = 2

✔️Sugar to flour = ¼ : 1

x : 2½ = ¼ : 1

x : ⁵/2 = ¼ : 1

x/⁵/2 = ¼/1

Cross multiply

x*1 = ¼*⁵/2

x = ⅝

✔️Sugar to flour = ¼ : 1

4 : x = ¼ : 1

⁴/x = ¼/1

Cross multiply

x*¼ = 1*4

x/4 = 4

Multiply both sides by 4

x = 4*4

x = 16
