Question

Josh mixes water and flour in the ratio 1:4. How much flour should be mixed with 2.5 cups of water?​

Answer 1

`x=10`

Step-by-step explanation:

`1/4=2.5/x` ÷
`x`

a. Find the domain

`(1)/(4)=(2.5)/(x)`

If the fraction is defined, the denominator cannot equal 0.

`x\\eq 0`

Append the inequality as the domain

`x\\eq 0`

b. Solve the equation

`(1)/(4)=(2.5)/(x)`

Cross multiply

`x=2.5*4`

Calculate the product or quotient

`x=10`

c. Find the intersection

`x=10`

I hope this helps you

Answer 2

10 cups of flour

Explanation:

Ratios tell you how much of one thing there are compared to another.

It is stated that the ratio of water to flour is 1:4.

This means for every 1 cup of water, there are 4 cups of flour.

If there are 2.5 cups of water, we do 2.5 x 4 = 10 cups of flour.
