Question

Jeremiah makes a recipe that calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour and three for six of butter if Jeremiah uses three sticks of butter how many cups of flour will he need

Answer 1

6 cups of flour

Explanation:

We know that:

Ratio of the recipe=(1 1/2)/(3/4)

1 1/2=1.5 cups of flour

3/4 stick of butter-------> 0.75 stick of butter

by proportion

1.5/0.75=x/3---------> 3*1.5=0.75*x

x=3*1.5/0.75----------> x=6 cups of flour
