Question

A recipe for pie dough calls for a ratio of butter to flour of 4/5 : 3 1/3 . If you plan to use 6 2/3 cups of flour, how much butter should you use to keep the same ratio?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. determine how much larger the amount of flour you intend to use is more than that indicated in the recipe
2. Multiply the answer gotten in the above step by the amount of flower indicated in the recipe

6 2/3 ÷ 3 1/3

20/3  x 3/10 = 2

2 x 4/5 = 8/5 = 1 3/5
