a cake using eggs and potatoes in the ratio of 2 to 5 if he uses sex as how many potatoes will he need

Answer 1

When eggs = 2, then potatoes = 5

Eggs: 2
Potatoes: 5

When that is changed to 6 eggs, 2 needs to be multiplied by a number to get 6.

2 * what = 6      or      6/2=

you get the number 3. A fraction is equivalent to a ratio. So if you have 2*3=6 then you need to multiply 5*3 to get the amount of potatoes you need. the answer is 15 potatoes because 5*3=15.
