Question

Kayla uses ⅙ cup of glitter for every ⅓ cup of glue to make glitter glue. Enter the number of cups of glitter Kayla uses for 1 cup of glue. LEAVE THE UNITS OFF, JUST WRITE THE NUMBER

Answer 1

Answer: 1/2

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 cup of glitter is needed for each 1/3 cup of glue. We want that "1/3 cup of glue" to be "1 cup of glue". So we'll multiply each part by 3.

• 3*(1/6) = 3/6 = 1/2
• 3*(1/3) = 3/3 = 1

The ratio 1/6 : 1/3 updates to 1/2 : 1 to tell us that we need 1/2 cup of glitter to pair with 1 cup of glue.
