Question

what is 6 cups of flour and 2/3 cup of butter write the ratio of the amount of flour to the amount of butter as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

So if we want the ratio of flour to butter in fraction form, we want the amount of butter to be on top: $\frac{9}{ \frac{2}{3} }$

However, it needs to be in simplest form, which means not a complex fraction. To make it a simple fraction, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
$\frac{9}{1} * \frac{3}{2} = \frac{18}{2} = \frac{9}{1}$

So, the ratio of flour to butter is $\frac{9 cups of flour}{1 cup of butter}$ (the text in the fraction formatted weirdly, sorry about that)

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :)
