A recipe calls for 3 ½ cups of flour and 4 ¾ cups of sugar. Write a ratio of flour to sugar as a simplified fraction.
(3 1/2) / (4 3/4) = (7/2) / (19/4) = 7/2 x 4/19 = 28 / 38 = 14/19
A recipe calls for 3 ½ cups of flour and 4 ¾ cups of sugar. Write a ratio of flour to sugar as a simplified fraction.
\(3\frac{1}{4}M:4\frac{3}{4}Z=1:x\)
\(\Large x=\frac{4\frac{3}{4}Z}{3\frac{1}{2}M}=\frac{19*2Z}{4*7M}=\frac{19Z}{14M}\)
\(For \ the \ recipe \ they \ need \ a \ volume \ ratio \)
\(Flour: sugar = 14:19\)
