Question

For a given recipe, 10 cups of flour are mixed with 20 cups of sugar. How many cups of flour should be used if 4 cups of sugar are used? Assuming a constant ratio, fill out the table of equivalent ratios until you have found the value of x.

Answer 1

The answer should be 2

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

If 20 cups are used on the first recipe then 4 are used on the second, the way to find the answer is to divide 20 by 4. 20 divided by 4 will get 5. Now we have to divide the 10 cups of flour by 5 which in the end will get 2.
