Question

In a dessert, the ratio of the number of ounces of dark chocolate used to the number of ounces of white chocolate used is 8 : 5 How many ounces of dark chocolate are used for every 1 ounce of white chocolate used to make the dessert ?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the ratio by 5 to get the number of ounces of dark chocolate used for 1 ounce of white chocolate, since 5/5 = 1

8/5 = 1.6

5/5 = 1

The new ratio is 1.6 : 1

This means that 1.6 ounces of dark chocolate are used for every 1 ounce of white chocolate
