A. The ratio of cups of sugar to butter is 3/4 : 1/8. Then multiply both ratios by 8.
8 x 3/4 = 6,
8 x 1/8 = 1.
3/4 : 1/8 is equal to 6 : 1. Therefore, 6 cups of sugar needed when there is 1 cup of butter.
Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply add 1/4 to both sides of the equation to isolate <em>x</em> and to get your answer.
x = 1/4 + 1/2
x = 1/4 + 2/4
x = 3/4 or 0.75
3/10n = 4/5
n = (4/5)/(3/10)
n = 4/5 * 10/3
n = 8/3
n = 2 2/3
You would divide because the amount of gallons is greater than the number of cups.
Ex: there are 16 cups how many gallons
1 gallon divide. 16/16
