mariam uses 5g of baking powder and 240g of flour to bake a cake. find the ratio of the amount of baking powder used to the amount of flour used?
well, you only have two numbers, and they give you the comparison order, so that makes it
5g:240g = 5:240 = 1:48
I don't know help me
5:240=1/48
To find the ratio of the amount of baking powder used to the amount of flour used, simply divide the amount of baking powder by the amount of flour.
Ratio = Amount of Baking Powder / Amount of Flour
In this case, Mariam uses 5g of baking powder and 240g of flour.
Ratio = 5g / 240g
To simplify this ratio, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 5 and 240 is 5.
Ratio = 1g / 48g
Therefore, the ratio of the amount of baking powder used to the amount of flour used is 1:48.
