the ratio is green peppers: onion: tomato 1 : 3 : 10 if you use 1 cup of green peppers, how many cups of onion do you use ?
3 idk... :/
yes, 3 cups of onion. that is what the ratio is telling you. if you use 1 cup of green peppers, how many cups of tomato do you use ?
10 cups
Let's say you start with 1 cup of green peppers. add 3 cups of onion and 10 cups of tomato. how many cups total do you have ?
14
now if you make another batch the same size (14 cups) how many cups total will you have ?
28
how many of the 28 cups will be onion ?
6
?
yes, 6 cups of onion. you have 3 cups of onion in the first batch of 14 cups ( 1 cup of green peppers, 3 of onion, 10 of tomato) you have 3 more cups of onion in the second batch of 14 cups
now if you made 4 equal batches of 14 cups each, how much total will you have ?
42 total cups and 12 cups of onion
4 batches should give you 4*14 or 14+14+14+14 = 56 cups total each batch has 3 cups of onion, so 4*3 = 12 cups of onion
