Answer:

350 grams

Explanation:

- 6 people = 120

10 = ?

- this is how like to use ratios

6 : 120

10 : x

- multiply the numbers in a criss-cross fashion

so,

- multiply 120*10 and devide by the number multiplying with the unknown ( 6 in this case )

- (120*10)/6 = 350

Answer:

The answer is 350 grams of sugar

Explanation:

You use a ratio


(6)/(10) =
(210)/(?)

Compare the numerators. Since

6 ⋅ 35 =210 , multiply the denominator 10 by 35 to get 350
