Question

The ratio of the quantities of sugar and flour needed to bake a cake is 2:5. What is the quantity of sugar needed for a cake, if 750 grams of flour are used to bake it? will medal

Answer 1

Oh, we have to set up a proportion.

\(\dfrac{2}{5} = \dfrac{x}{750}\)

Multiply 750 to both sides:

\(\dfrac{2 \times 750}{5} = x\)

Simplify the left side, what's 2 * 750?

Answer 2

wait

Answer 3

2* 750 =1500

Answer 4

but you cancel the 0 from the 1500 with 750 and you get 150??

Answer 5

Yes, 1500 is correct, so we have:

\(\dfrac{1500}{5} = x\)

Now divide 1500 / 5

Answer 6

1500/5=300

Answer 7

Yes, that's our answer.
