Question

elis muffin recipe includes 4 cups of flour and 2 cups of sugar. he makes a small batch that is half the size, as well as several larger batches. enter the ratio with 3 times as much flour and sugar as the small batch. flour (c) 2 4

Explanation:

Step1: Find small batch flour

Original flour: 4 cups. Small batch is half, so flour = \(4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 2\) cups.

Step2: Find 3x small batch flour

Multiply small batch flour by 3: \(2 \times 3 = 6\) cups.

Step3: Find small batch sugar

Original sugar: 2 cups. Small batch is half, so sugar = \(2 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1\) cup.

Step4: Find 3x small batch sugar

Multiply small batch sugar by 3: \(1 \times 3 = 3\) cups.

Step5: Determine ratio

Ratio of flour to sugar is \(6:3\), simplify to \(2:1\) (or keep as \(6:3\)). But for the table (flour column), the value is 6.

Answer:

6 (for the flour column in the table; ratio of flour to sugar is 6:3 or simplified 2:1)
