Question

4. A recipe for orange water says, "Mix 3 teaspoons yellow water with 1 teaspoon red water." For this recipe, we might say: "The ratio of teaspoons of yellow water to teaspoons of red water is 3 : 1." Write a ratio for 2 batches of this recipe. Write a ratio for 4 batches of this recipe.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 batches of orange water = 6 tablespoon of yellow water and 2 tablespoon of red water

4 batches of orange water = 12 tablespoon of yellow water and 4 tablespoon of red water

Step-by-step explanation:

1 batch

Yellow water = 3 teaspoons

Red water = 1 teaspoons

Yellow water : Red water = 3 : 1

2 batches of orange water

Multiply the ratios by 2

Yellow water : Red water

= (3 : 1) * 2

= 6 : 2

2 batches of orange water = 6 tablespoon of yellow water and 2 tablespoon of red water

4 batches of orange water

Multiply the ratios by 4

Yellow water : Red water

= (3 : 1) * 4

= 12 : 4

4 batches of orange water = 12 tablespoon of yellow water and 4 tablespoon of red water
