Question

Group of answer choices

15/25

2/5

14/15

32/40

Answer 1

Answer: 32/40

Step-by-step explanation: Our original ratio here for sugar/flour is 4/5, but as that's not an answer choice, we need to look for an answer choice where the ratio reduces to 4/5. 32/40 is the answer because 32 and 40 are multiples of 4 and 5 respectively:

32/8 =4, and

40/8=5, so

32/40 is equal to 4/5.
