Question

a bakery uses 8 tablespoons of honey for every 10 cups of flower to make bread dough. some days they bake bigger batches and some days the make smaller batches, but they always use the same ratio of honey to flower. How many cups of flower do they use with 20 tablesppons of honey

Answer 1

25

8×2=16 which means were at 20 for cups of flower then add 4 half both and you get 25 for bread dough for every 20 tablespoons of honey

Answer 2

To find out how many cups of flour the bakery uses with 20 tablespoons of honey, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio of honey to flour.

The ratio is 8 tablespoons of honey for every 10 cups of flour.

Let's set up the proportion:

8 tablespoons / 10 cups = 20 tablespoons / x cups

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

8x = 10 * 20
8x = 200

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:

x = 200 / 8
x = 25

Therefore, the bakery would use 25 cups of flour with 20 tablespoons of honey.
