Question

A recipe for 1 batch of spice mix says, “Combine 3 teaspoons of mustard seeds, 5 teaspoons of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.”

How many batches are represented by the diagram?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 3 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 9 teaspoons of mustard seeds, 15 teaspoons of chili powder, and 3 teaspoons of salt.

9 : 15 : 3

1 : 5 : 1

There are 3 batches

Answer 2

The batches represented by the diagram is 3.

Ratio shows the relationship that exists between two or more more numbers.  It is the frequency of the number of times that one number is contained in other numbers.

The ratio of teaspoons of mustard seeds, chilli powder and salt in the recipe is 3:5:1. These means that for every batch made, 3 teaspoon of mustard seed, one teaspoon of salt and five teaspoons of  chilli powder is used.

If two batches are made, the ratio becomes : 2( 3 : 5 : 1) = 6: 10: 2.

If three batches are made, the ratio becomes : 3( 3 : 5 : 1) = 9 : 15 : 3
