Question

A recipe calls for 3/5 cups of milk and 1/10 pounds of oatmeal. Write a ratio of milk to oatmeal

Answer 1

Ratio of milk to Oatmeal = 3/1 =3

Explanation:

Amount of milk = 3/5 cups

Amount of outmeal = 1/10 pounds

But, 16 ounces = 1 pound = 2 cups

(Multiply the pound by to in order to convert it to cups.)

Therefore: 1/10 pounds = (1/10) x 2 cups = 1/5 cups

Ratio of Milk to Oatmeal =

Amount of milk : Amount of oatmeal

=(Amount of milk/Amount of Oatmeal)

=(3/5 cups) / (1/5 cups

=(3/5 ) x (5/1)

=3
