Question

3. A recipe for banana cakes calls for 6 cups of mashed banana to 9 cups of flour. How many cups of

flour per cup of mashed banana does the recipe require?

Answer 1

The recipe requires 1.5 cups of flour per cup of mashed banana.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of cups of flour per cup of mashed banana, we need to set up a proportion using the given information.

Let x be the number of cups of flour required for 1 cup of mashed banana.

Using the given ratio of 6 cups of mashed banana to 9 cups of flour, we can write the proportion:

6 cups / 9 cups = 1 cup / x cups

Cross multiply and solve for x:

6x = 9

x = 9 / 6

x = 1.5

Therefore, the recipe requires 1.5 cups of flour per cup of mashed banana.

Answer 2

3 cups of flour for every 2 bananas
