Question

to make applesauce you need 2 cups of sugar for every 16 apples use the ratio table to find out how many cups of sugar you need if you have 4 apples

Answer 1

For this case we are going to define the following variables:
x: number of cups of sugar
y: number if apples
We then have the following relationship:

`(x)/(y) = (2)/(16)`
For 4 apples we have:
`(x)/(4) = (2)/(16)`
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:

`x = 4 (2)/(16)`

`x= (8)/(16)`

`x= (1)/(2)`
Answer:
you need 1/2 cups of sugar if you have 4 apples
