Question

A recipe has a ratio of 1 1/2 cups of cheese to 6 ounces of pasta. Which ratio of pasta to cheese is true?

A: 2:1
B: 1:2
C: 4:1
D: 1:4

Answer 1

The correct ratio of pasta to cheese is 4:1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of pasta to cheese, we need to invert the given ratio of cheese to pasta. The given ratio is 1 1/2 cups of cheese to 6 ounces of pasta.

Now, let's invert the ratio: 1 1/2 cups of cheese to 6 ounces of pasta becomes 6 ounces of pasta to 1 1/2 cups of cheese.

To simplify the ratio, we can convert 1 1/2 cups to 3/2 cups.

Therefore, the correct ratio of pasta to cheese is 4:1, option C.
