Question

The Taylor family's pancake recipe uses 2 teaspoons of baking powder for every 1/3 of a teaspoon of salt. How much baking powder would they need if they used 1 teaspoon of salt?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 teaspoons

Step-by-step explanation:

2 teaspoons = 1/3 tsp of salt

6 teaspoons = 1 tsp of salt

This was done by multiplying 2 by 3 since 3 thirds (3/3) make one whole.

So if 2 teaspoons are used for 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 4 teaspoons would be used for 2/3 teaspoon of salt and 6 teaspoons would be used for 1 teaspoon of salt.
