Question

A recipe calls for 1/2 cup of ingredient A for every 1 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

13 $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the ratio of cup a to cup b:

$\frac{1}{2} : 1 \frac{2}{3}$

To find out how much of cup b we need after using 4 cups of cup a, we can divide 4 by the ratio of cup a:

4 ÷ $\frac{1}{2}$ = 8

So we need to multiply the ratio of cup b by 8:

8 * $1 \frac{2}{3}$ =  13 $\frac{1}{3}$

Meaning that

13 $\frac{1}{3}$ cups of cup b is needed.

Hope this helps!
