Question

how many cups of chicken broth are there for every cup of noodles? noodles (cups) chicken broth (cups) 5 10 \frac{1}{2} 1 1

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio

We can use the second row of the table. The ratio of chicken broth to noodles is \(\frac{\text{Chicken broth}}{\text{Noodles}}\). Given noodles \(=\frac{1}{2}\) cup and chicken broth \( = 1\) cup. The ratio is \(\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}\).

Step2: Simplify the ratio

Using the rule \(\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}}=a\times\frac{c}{b}\), for \(a = 1\), \(b = 1\), \(c=2\), we have \(1\times\frac{2}{1}=2\).

Answer:

\(2\) cups of chicken broth.
