Question

Jonshelle is developing a new bread recipe. The relationship between cups of water, w, and cups of flour, f, is w = 7/10f. What is the scale factor of water to flour?

Answer 1

The scale factor of water to flour represents the proportionality ratio, that is,
`k = (7)/(10)`.

Explanation:

According to the statement, we know that it exists a linear relationship between cups of water (
`w`) and cups of flour (
`f`). That is:

`w = k\cdot f` (Eq. 1)

Where
`k` is the proportionality ratio, measured in cups of water per cup of flour.

Therefore, the scale factor of water to flour represents the proportionality ratio, that is,
`k = (7)/(10)`.
