Question

Find three ratlos equivalent to the ratio described in the situation

Answer 1

Answer:

2 to 8

3 to 12

4 to 16

Explanation:

Ratio of cups of water to cups of milk = 1 to 4 = 1 : 4

Thus, three equivalent ratios of the situation described above will be:

✔️Since 1 cup of water is to 4 cups of milk (¼) therefore:

2 cups of water will require x cups of milk (²/x)

Thus:

¼ = ²/x

Cross multiply

x = 4*2

x = 8

Equivalent ratio: 2 to 8

✔️Since 1 cup of water is to 4 cups of milk (¼) therefore:

3 cups of water will require x cups of milk (³/x)

Thus:

¼ = ³/x

Cross multiply

x = 4*3

x = 12

Equivalent ratio: 3 to 12

✔️Since 1 cup of water is to 4 cups of milk (¼) therefore:

4 cups of water will require x cups of milk (⁴/x)

Thus:

¼ = ⁴/x

Cross multiply

x = 4*4

x = 16

Equivalent ratio: 4 to 12
