Answer 2

Answer: 80 g

Explanation:

Given

The frosting is made of cream cheese and Powdered sugar in the ratio of 3:2.

If 120 g of cheese is used

Assume the quantity of powdered sugar is x

So, we can write the ratio as

`\Rightarrow (3)/(2)=(120)/(x)\\\\\Rightarrow x=(2)/(3)* 120\\\\\Rightarrow x=(2)/(3)* 3* 40\\\\\Rightarrow x=80\ g`

So, 80 g of powdered sugar is used.
