A recipe calls for one half 1 2 cup of ingredient A for every 1 and one fifth1 1 5 cups of ingredient B. You use 44 cups of ingredient A. How many cups of ingredient B do you need?
Thanks guest for that good answer......here's another way to look at it
The ratio of "B" to "A' = 12/5 ....so.....
12/5 = x / 44 cross-multiply
528 = 5x divide both sides by 5
x = 105.6 cups of "B"
Just as guest found !!!!
I wish y'all would be a little more careful with your questions!
We'll set this up as a ratio of b:a
1 1/5 / 1/2 = ?/44 Multiply both sides by 44 to get :
1 1/5 / 1/2 x 44 = ? then do the math
6/5 / 1/2 x 44
6/5 x 2/1 x 44 = 12/5 x 44 = 105.6 cups of 'B':
