Answer 2

easy, just setup a proportion

Answer 3

proportion involves two ratios :-

first ratio :

one and one third cups of sugar to one cup of chocolate chips.

\(\large \frac{1\frac{1}{3}}{1}\)

Answer 4

second ratio :
three and one third cups of sugar is used

\(\large \frac{3\frac{1}{3}}{x} \)

Answer 5

set them equal and solve x

Answer 6

i did wrong ? lol i meant to put this one



A pancake recipe requires two and one half cups of milk to one cup of flour. If three and one third cups of milk is used, what quantity of flour will be needed, according to the recipe?

Answer 7

its same, just setup a proportion. dont get distracted by the mixed numbers... this is really simple

Answer 8

two and one half cups of milk to one cup of flour

\(\large \frac{2\frac{1}{2}}{1} \)

Answer 9

three and one third cups of milk is used

\(\large \frac{3\frac{1}{3}}{x} \)

Answer 10

set both the ratios equal and solve x

Answer 11

\(\large \frac{2\frac{1}{2}}{1} = \frac{3\frac{1}{3}}{x} \)

Answer 12

\(\large x = \frac{3\frac{1}{3}}{2\frac{1}{2}} \)

Answer 13

so 1=1/x ?

Answer 14

\(\large x = \frac{\frac{10}{3}}{\frac{5}{2}} \)

Answer 15

\(\large x = \frac{10}{3} \times \frac{2}{5} \)

Answer 16

\(\large x = \frac{4}{3} \)

Answer 17

\(\large x = 1\frac{1}{3} \)

Answer 18

so you will need one and one thirds of chocolate chips
