5:8 is the ratio, pages:minutes. 5 is the amount of pages read, 8 is the minutes it took. 8 divided by 5 = 1.6 which would be the average time it took for him to read one page. A greater ratio would be anything higher than an average of 1.6 minutes per page.

Step-by-step explanation:
This is because f(-3) = -(-3) = 3.
No, because they wouldn't contain the same amount of sugar per cookie
for the first recipe - 24 cookies with 6 tablespoons
thats 6/24 so 0.25 tablespoons of sugar per cookie
for the second recipe - 36 cookies with 10 tablespoons
thats 10/36 so 0.276 tablespoons per cookie
the cookies in the second recipe would be slightly sweeter than the cookies in the first
