Is the rate 3/4 cup butter/6 eggs = 9 cups of butter/ 73 eggs equivalent to the rate?
is it yes
cross multiply and see for yourself.
(3/4)/6=9/73
(3/4)(73)=(9)(4)
if they are equal, then yes, then equivalent to rate
21/27= 7/9
To determine if the rate 3/4 cup of butter to 6 eggs is equivalent to the rate 9 cups of butter to 73 eggs, we can set up a proportion and compare them.
First, let's write the rates in proper fraction form:
3/4 cup butter to 6 eggs
9/1 cups of butter to 73 eggs
Now, we can set up the proportion:
(3/4) / 6 = (9/1) / 73
To solve this, we can cross-multiply:
(3/4) * 73 = (9/1) * 6
Calculating the left side:
(3/4) * 73 = 219/4
Calculating the right side:
(9/1) * 6 = 54/1 = 54
Now, we compare the results:
219/4 = 54
No, the two rates are not equivalent since 219/4 is not equal to 54.
Therefore, the answer is no.
