Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/3
=>If 8/3 = 1/6
x =1
1/6x = 8/3 ( Divide both sides by 1/6 )
___ ___
1/6 1/6
(By cross-multiplying the numerators and denominators)
=> 1×6 8×6
___ x = ___
6×1 3×1
Cancelling out , we have
x = 8×2
____ = 8×2 = 16
1 × 1
The final answer becomes 16
Hope it helps.
There will be 16 cups required if the Richard has 1 cup of cinnamon already in the recipe.
It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.
We have:
A recipe calls for 2 2/3 cups of flour every 1/6 cup of cinnamon.If Richard has 1 cup of cinnamon already in the recipe.
Taking ratio of flour to cinnamon:
[tex]=2\dfrac{2}{3} :\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{8}{3} :\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
Multiplying by 6 on the above ratio:
= 16:1
Thus, there will be 16 cups required if the Richard has 1 cup of cinnamon already in the recipe.
