Answer 1

\(\large {
\begin{array}{ccllll}
salt&flour
\\\hline\\
\frac{2}{3}&\frac{3}{4}\\
x&3
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2}{3}}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{3}\impliedby \textit{solve for "x"}
}\)

Answer 2

Helloo @Cira_Is_A_Neko ! Welcome to Openstudy!

so, your question. For this, we can use proportions.
2/3 tbls of salt for every 3//4 cup of flour. We want to use 3 cups of flour, and don't know how much salt to use...
\(\huge\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{x}{3}\)

Solve for x.

Answer 3

@StudyGurl14 I think its x= 1/6

Answer 4

Im not really good in math.

Answer 5

I'm sorry, but 1/6 is incorrect. Let's do the next step together. :)

Answer 6

Oh, ok.

Answer 7

When you have proportions like this, you can do something called cross-multiply.


Do you see what I did?
