Question

A recipe called for the ratio of sugar to flour to be 10:3 .If you used 70 ounce of sugar .how many ounce of flour would you need to yes

Answer 1

Answer:

21 ounces of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Set it up like this:

10/3 = 70/x

isolate the so that it is on the top, so multiply by x on the right and on the left

this gives you:

x*10/3=70

try to isolate x and multiply by 3 to get rid of the denominator

x*10=70*3

x*10= 210

finally isolate x by dividing by 10 and getting rid of the 10 multiplying with it

x= 210/10

x=21

you need 21 ounces of flour if you have 70 ounces of sugar

you can double check by making sure the ratio of 10/3 is equal to 70/21

and of course they both equal 3.33 repeating, therefore your answer is correct

Hope that helps

Answer 2

Answer:

21 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To go from 10 to 70 ounces, you multiply by 7 so you have to do that on the other side of the ratio. 3*7 = 21 ounces.

10:3

70:x
