Question

A recipe calls for 2 cups of oats and 4 cups of flour. Alicia makes a larger batch mixing 4 cups of oats and 6 cups of flour. Did she use the same ratio of oats to flour shown in original recipe? Justify your answer. Thanks​

Answer 1

Alicia did not use the correct amount of flour, but she did use the correct amount of oats. The reason she is incorrect is that if she made double the batch, then she would have doubled the amount of flour that she was suppose to used.
