Question

a recipe calls for 6 cups of brown sugar for every 2 cups of white sugar. How many cups of brown sugar is required for every cup of white sugar ​

Answer 1

You need 3 cups of brown sugar for every 1 cup of white sugar.

Explanation:

To find the smallest amount possible, divide both numbers by the smaller number. So, 6 (the amount of brown sugar) Divided by 2 equals 3, and 2 (the amount of white sugar) Divided by 2 equals 1.
