Paul needs 4.5 cups of flour and 0.5 cup of brown sugar for his recipe. Which statement best describes how much of each ingredi
ent Paul needs to measure? A.Paul should measure exactly 4 cups of flour and 1 cup of brown sugar since that makes a total of 5 cups of ingredients. B.Paul should measure exactly 4.5 cups of flour and 0.5 cup of brown sugar so that he has enough flour and not too much brown sugar for the recipe. C.Paul should make it easy and just measure a total of 5 cups of flour and brown sugar since it all gets mixed up in the recipe anyway.
B.<span>Paul should measure exactly 4.5 cups of flour and 0.5 cup of brown sugar so that he has enough flour and not too much brown sugar for the recipe.
When given a </span>recipe<span>, you only have two options. Follow the exact amounts, or follow a matching ratio of those amounts. Anything else will ruin the food.
You can't do 4 cups and 1 cup because that's not a matching ratio (A). 5 cups of both is wayyyy off the ratio. (C)
Instead of 4.5 and 0.5 for example, we could double the recipe and do 9 and 1, for example. If you had an option D that said he wanted to make two of the </span>recipe, then 9 and 1 would also be a correct answer.
