Let the sugar cups be x

Ratio of butter and sugar=4:5

Cups of butter=16

According to question:-

$\sf \frac{4}{5} = \frac{16}{x}$

$\sf = \frac{ \cancel{16} \times 5}{ \cancel4 \times x} = \frac{20}{x}$

$\sf = \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \frac{20}{x} = 1 \\ \\ \sf= 20 = 1 \times x \\ \\ \sf = \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 20 = x$

So 20 cups of sugar are used.
