Explanation:

Correct Question: A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes. The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes. Which proportion represents the situation?

We have , A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes , i.e.

Number of beef stew calls = 1

Number of potatoes = 3

Now , The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes i.e. for every 2 pounds of beef we have 6 potatoes

⇒
`2/6`

⇒
`(2)/(6)`

⇒
`(2)/(2(3))`

⇒
`(1)/(3)`

Therefore , Pounds of beef and potatoes are in ratio or proportion of
`(1)/(3)` .
