a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of ingredient A for every 1 1/3 cups of ingredient B. You use 4 cups of ingredient A. How many cups of ingredient B do you need?

4/(1/2) = 8

8 * 1 1/3 = 8 8/3 = 10 2/3 cups of B

4 to 3 in fraction

To determine how many cups of ingredient B you need, we can first find the ratio between ingredient A and ingredient B in the recipe.

The recipe states that for every 1/2 cup of ingredient A, you need 1 1/3 cups of ingredient B.

Let's convert the measurements to a common denominator to make the calculation easier.

The ratio becomes:
For every 2/4 cup of ingredient A, you need 4/3 cups of ingredient B.

Now, we know that you are using 4 cups of ingredient A. We can set up a proportion to find out the corresponding amount of ingredient B.

(2/4)/(4/3) = X/4

To solve this proportion, we multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and set it equal to the numerator of the second fraction multiplied by the denominator of the first fraction:

(2/4) * (3/4) = X * 1

Multiplying the numerators and denominators gives:

6/16 = X/4

Now we can cross-multiply to solve for X:

16X = 6 * 4
16X = 24

Divide both sides by 16:

X = 24/16
X = 1.5

Therefore, you need 1.5 cups of ingredient B when using 4 cups of ingredient A in the given recipe.
