Question

Select the correct answer.
Monica uses 3 tablespoons of milk in her custard recipe. The ratio of tablespoons to fluid ounces is 2 : 1. How many fluid ounces of milk does Monica use?

Answer 1

the ratio of tablespoons to fluid oz = 2:1
this means that, 2 tablespoons = 1 fluid oz

dividing both sides by 2, we get
1 tablespoon = (1/2) fluid oz

so 3 tablespoons is how many fluid oz, using the previous statement?
