Which recipe has the greatest ratio of honey to oats?

Solution

Computing the ratio of honey to oats for each of recipes

Recipe 1

Honey | 5 | 10 | 15

Oats | 2 | 4 | 6

Honey to Oats ratio = (5/2) = (10/4) = (15/6) = 2.5 to 1.

Recipe 2

Honey | 6 | 10 | 14

Oats | 3 | 5 | 7

Honey to Oats ratio = (6/3) = (10/5) = (14/7) = 2 to 1.

Recipe 3

Honey | 3 | 6 | 9

Oats | 1 | 2 | 3

Honey to Oats ratio = (3/1) = (6/2) = (9/3) = 3 to 1.

Recipe 4

Honey | 8 | 10 | 12

Oats | 4 | 5 | 6

Honey to Oats ratio = (8/4) = (10/5) = (12/6) = 2 to 1.

Recipe 3 evidently has the greatest honey to oats ratio amongst the 4 recipes.

Hope this Helps!!!
