Question

Josh mixes water and flour in the ratio 1:4. How much flour should be mixed with 2.5 cups of water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios tell you how much of one thing there are compared to another.

It is stated that the ratio of water to flour is 1:4.

This means for every 1 cup of water, there are 4 cups of flour.

If there are 2.5 cups of water, we do 2.5 x 4 = 10 cups of flour.

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1\div4=2.5\divx$ ÷ $x$

a. Find the domain

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2.5}{x}$

If the fraction is defined, the denominator cannot equal 0.

$x\neq 0$

Append the inequality as the domain

$x\neq 0$

b. Solve the equation

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2.5}{x}$

Cross multiply

$x=2.5\times4$

Calculate the product or quotient

$x=10$

c. Find the intersection

$x=10$

I hope this helps you
