15 tsp of black pepper was used. 2 half tsp = one whole tsp. 12 half tsp is equivalent to 6 tsp. Multiply 1 1/4 by 12 and you get 15. <span />
Answer:
correct
Step-by-step explanation:
A = Sock's weight
b = Princess' weight
c = Luna's weight
a : b = 4 : 5
b : c = 6 : 7
at this point, we have to change the 2 ratios (a : b and b : c) into one ratio (a : b : c)
to do that, we have to change the ratio number so the number b in both ratio is the same
a : b = 4 : 5 = 24 : 30
b : c = 6 : 7 = 30 : 35
From that we can conclude that
a : b : c = 24 : 30 : 35
Since we're looking for the ratio of Sock's weight to Luna's weight, it will be
a : c = 24 : 35
