Answer 1

Answer: 9

Explanation:

Here is the completed question.

Sugar and flour are mixed in the ratio 3:5 in a sweet recipe. In another recipe, 15 parts of flour are used. If these two ingredients in both recipes are in an equivalent ratio, how many parts of sugar should be used?

Ratio of sugar and flour = 3:5

Since 15 parts of flour are used, the parts of sugar that should be used will be:

= 15 ÷ 5/3

= 15 × 3/5

= 3 × 3

= 9
