Answer 1

Given :  Tara makes 30 cups of donut topping by mixing sugar and cinnamon. The ratio of sugar to cinnamon is shown in the tape diagram.

To find : How much sugar did Tara use in the donut topping?

Solution:

From tape diagram

If  3 parts of  sugar  is used then 2  parts of cinnamon is used

Ratio of  sugar : Cinanmon = 3 : 2

Let say sugar is used =  3C  cups

then Cinamon used = 2C  cups

Total Cups = 3C + 2C = 5C  cups

5C cups = 30 Cups

=> C  = 6

Sugar  used = 3C = 3 * 6 = 18 Cups

18 Cups of sugar is used by Tara in  donut topping
