A recipe of muffins calls for 1/2cup of sugar to 2 cups of flour ,how many cups of sugar ?
ummmm, ... 1/2 ?
It would help if you would proofread your work before you post it.
Ratio = .5/2 = sugar/flour
When you find out how many cups of flour you use, you could calculate the number of cups of sugar.
To find the number of cups of sugar needed for the muffin recipe, we can set up a proportion using the ratio provided.
The ratio given is 1/2 cup of sugar to 2 cups of flour. We can write this as:
(Sugar / Flour) = (1/2 cup / 2 cups)
Let's use the cross-multiplication method to solve for the unknown value.
Flour * Sugar = Cup of Sugar * 2 cups
Since we want to find the number of cups of sugar, let's assume it as 'x':
2 cups of flour * x = 1/2 cup of sugar * 2 cups
Now we can simplify the equation:
2x = 1
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 1/2
So, the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of sugar.
