Cups of Flour Number of Eggs
2
4
70

Complete the table with the missing numbers using the flour to egg ratio from the pancake recipe.

Answer 1

Cups of Flour Number of Eggs

2 1/5 (0.2)

4 2/5 (0.4)

70 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of flour to egg is 10 cups of flour per egg, or 10:1. That means for every cup of flour, 0.1 egg is needed, or 1:0.1. We can divide the cups of flour by ten to get the number of eggs. (To divide by ten, move the decimal point on the right over one place to the left)

For example, 2 cups of flour would need 0.2 eggs because 2/10 = 0.2. You can do the same thing for the other numbers as well. 4/10 = 0.4, and 70/10 = 7.
