Question

If the flour to sugar ratio is 5 liters flour to 1 liter sugar, then how much sugar is needed if only 2 liters of flour are used? (Give the answer as a fraction.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}\:liter$  of sugar is needed for 2 liter of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

5 liter of flour is added to 1 liter of sugar.

We have to find quantity of sugar required for 2 liter of flour.

Quantity of Sugar for 5 liter of flour = 1 liter

So, Quantity of Sugar for 1 liter of flour = $\frac{1}{5}$ liter

⇒ Quantity of Sugar for 2 liter of flour = $\frac{1}{5}\times2=\frac{2}{5}$ liter

Therefore, $\frac{2}{5}\:liter$  of sugar is needed for 2 liter of flour.

Answer 2

5l four = 1l of sugar
2l flour = 0.4l Sugar
