A bread recipe calls for 3 4 cup of flour and 1 5 cup of sugar. Based on the recipe, what is the amount of sugar that should be used with 1 cup of flour?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]\frac{4}{15}[/tex] cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A bread recipe requires [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cup of flour

and [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] cup of sugar

i.e. ratio of flour and sugar is [tex]\dfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{5}}[/tex]

which will remain same for each time we make bread

When 1 cup of flour is used then amount of sugar is

Suppose x cup of sugar is required so equating the ratio of flour to sugar

[tex]\dfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{5}}=\dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{4}{15}[/tex]
