Answer:
Option 2: 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 1 cup of flour
Option 3: ½ teaspoon of salt per 1 teaspoon of baking soda
Explanation:
The recipe has 3 ingredients mixed in the following ratio =>
½ of a cup of flour : ½ of a teaspoon of baking soda : ¼ of teaspoon of salt
Let's analyse each given options to see which rate is correct or not using the above ratio that makes a recipe:
Option 1 => 2 teaspoon of salt : 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
¼ salt : ½ baking soda
2 salt : x baking soda
Thus, ¼ / ½ = ²/x
Cross multiply
¼*x = ½*2
x/4 = 1
x = 4
Therefore, 2 teaspoon of salt will need 4 teaspoon of baking soda not 1.
Option 2 => 1 teaspoon of baking soda : 1 cup of floor.
½ baking soda : ½ flour
1 baking soda : x flour
Thus, ½ / ½ = ¹/x
Cross multiply
½*x = ½*1
x/2 = ½
Multiply both sides by 2
x = ½*2
x = 1
Therefore, 1 teaspoon of baking soda will need 1 cup of floor. This is correct.
Option 3 => ½ teaspoon of salt : 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
¼ salt : ½ baking soda
½ salt : x baking soda
Thus, ¼ / ½ = ½/x
Cross multiply
¼*x = ½*½
x/4 = ¼
Multiply both sides by 4
x = ¼*4
x = 1
Therefore, ½ teaspoon of salt will need 1 teaspoon of baking soda. This is correct.
Option 4 => 1 teaspoon of baking soda : 2 teaspoon of salt.
½ baking soda : ¼ salt
1 baking soda : x salt
Thus, ½ / ¼ = 1/x
Cross multiply
½*x = ¼*1
x/2 = ¼
Multiply both sides by2
x = ¼*2
x = ½
Therefore, 1 teaspoon of baking soda will need ½ teaspoon of salt not 2.
Option 5 => 2 teaspoon of salt : 1 cup of flour
¼ salt : ½ flour
2 salt : x flour
Thus, ¼ / ½ = ²/x
Cross multiply
¼*x = ½*2
x/4 = 1
x = 4
Therefore, 2 teaspoon of salt will need 4 cup of flour not 1.
The correct options are option 2 and option 3.
