Question

A chicken recipe calls for 1/4 T of paprika for each 1/2 T of garlic powder. If you use 3/4 T of paprika, how much garlic?

Answer 1

1 1/2 T garlic

Explanation:

You used 3 times as much paprika as the recipe asks for. Therefore, to keep the ratio the same, you also have to multiply the amount of garlic by 3. So, you need 3/2 or 1 1/2 T of garlic.
