Question

Charlie is making chocolate cake for his birthday party. He found a recipe that needs 2 cups of cocoa powder for every 3 cups of sugu. Al of his friends
are coming, so he uses 6 cups of cocoa powder in his cake,

How many cups of sugar should Charlie uso?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the mix follows the ratio 2/3 (cups of cocoa to sugar).

2 × x = 6 cups

x = 6/2 = 3

so, the cocoa cups number is multiplied by the factor 3, and we need to multiply also the sugar cup number with the same factor to keep the ratio value unchanged :

so, we need 3×3 = 9 cups of sugar.
