If the flour to sugar ratio is 5 liters flour to 1 liter sugar, then how much sugar is needed if only 2 liters of flour are used? (Give the answer as a fraction.)

Respuesta :

5l four = 1l of sugar
2l flour = 0.4l Sugar

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}\:liter[/tex]  of sugar is needed for 2 liter of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

5 liter of flour is added to 1 liter of sugar.

We have to find quantity of sugar required for 2 liter of flour.

Quantity of Sugar for 5 liter of flour = 1 liter

So, Quantity of Sugar for 1 liter of flour = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] liter

Quantity of Sugar for 2 liter of flour = [tex]\frac{1}{5}\times2=\frac{2}{5}[/tex] liter

Therefore, [tex]\frac{2}{5}\:liter[/tex]  of sugar is needed for 2 liter of flour.
