Question

Melissa used 4 cups of sugar to bake 54 cookies. If she’s only used 1 cup of sugar, what would be an equivalent ratio of cups to cookies

Answer 1

`(2)/(27)`

Explanation:

We have given that melissa used 4 cups of sugar to bake 54 cookies.

That means 1 cup of sugar will be used to bake
`(54)/(4)=(27)/(2)` by unitary method

We have to find the ratio of cups to the cookies

We are using 1 cup of sugar

And cookies will be
`(27)/(2)`

`\text{equivalent ratio}=(1)/((27)/(2))=(2)/(27)`
