A recipe for banana bread requires 3 cups of bananas for every 1 1/2 cups of sugar used. At this rate, how many cups of sugar should be used if 8 cups of bananas are used?

Answer 1

3.9999 cups of sugar but we can round to 4
The ratio of bananas to sugar is 3:1.5
We’re looking for the cups of sugar is bananas is 8 so 8:s
3 : 1.5
Is equal to
8 : s
So 8/3 should be equal to s/1.5
8/3 is 2.6666 and 1.5 times 2.6666 is 3.9999
