Question

You're baking a cake with a ratio of 3:4. If you use 2 cups of flour,how many cups of sugar will you use?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 2/3 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

If your ratio is 3 flour to 4 sugar, and you use 2 cups of flour, set up your proportion as follows:

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2}{x}$

Cross multiply to get 3x = 8 and x = 8/3 which is 2 and 2/3 cups of sugar.
