Question

The Crazy 80s Baby Jr. Decides to make a Crazy Cake for dessert. The cake uses eggs and potatoes in a ratio of 2:5. If she uses 6 eggs, how many potatoes will she need?

Answer 1

Answer:

When

eggs = 6, Potatoes = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of egg to potatoes

Egg : potatoes

2 : 5

If she uses 6 eggs, how many potatoes will she need?

Eggs = 6

Potatoes = x

2 : 5 = 6 : x

2 / 5 = 6 / x

Cross product

2 * x = 5 * 6

2x = 30

x = 30 / 2

x = 15

When

eggs = 6, Potatoes = 15
