Question

A coconut cream pie recipe uses 6 ounces of crearn cheese, 12 ounces of condensed milk, and 10 ounces whipped topping In simplest form, how many ounces of cream cheese are there for every ounce of condensed milk? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 oz of cream cheese to every 2 oz of condensed milk

Step-by-step explanation:

We can completely disregard whipped topping because it does not ask for it.

We have 6 ounces of cream cheese to 12 ounces of condense milk. We can write this as a ration:

6:12

6 oz cream cheese:12 oz condensed milk

The question is basically asking to simplify 6:12

Since the greatest commond factor is 6, we can divide both sides by 6 and get:

1:2

Therefore, there is 1 oz of cream cheese to every 2 oz of condensed milk
