Question

eli’s 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 4 times as much flour and sugar as the small batch. flour (c) 2 4 6 sugar (c) 1 2 3 ?

Explanation:

Step1: Find small batch amounts

The original recipe has 4 cups flour, 2 cups sugar. Small batch is half: flour = \(4 \div 2 = 2\) cups, sugar = \(2 \div 2 = 1\) cup.

Step2: Calculate 4 times small batch

Flour: \(2 \times 4 = 8\) cups. Sugar: \(1 \times 4 = 4\) cups.

Step3: Determine the ratio

Ratio of flour to sugar is \(8:4\) (simplifies to \(2:1\), but we use the calculated amounts).

Answer:

The ratio of flour to sugar is \(8:4\) (or simplified \(2:1\), but based on calculation, the amounts are 8 cups flour and 4 cups sugar, so the ratio is \(8:4\)).
