Question

Natalie is making a batch of trail mix. The usual recipe calls for 12 oz. of chocolate for every 3/4 cup of raisins.

If Natalie only has 8 oz. of chocolate, how many cups of raisins are needed?

Answer 1

Hi

To do this I did a ratio of 12:8 for the chocolate and then a ratio of 0.75:? for the rasins

To get from 12 to 0.75 we divide by 16 so we do the same for the 8 so 8/16 is 0.5 which is equal to 1/2 therefore for 8oz of chocolate you need 1/2 cup of rasins

Hope this helps !
