Answer 1

Fractions are written as the ratio of two integers. 3 1/7 cups white flour will be needed for every 11 cup of rye flour

Ratio and proportion

Fractions are written as the ratio of two integers. If a baker mixes 8 3/4 cups of white flour with 2 1/2 cups of rye, the number of cups of rye needed for 1 cup ofwhile flour will be:

For 1 cup of flour = (2 1/2)/(8 3/4)

For 1 cup of flour = (5/2)/(35/4)

For 1 cup of flour = 5/2 * 4/35
For 1 cup of flour = 2/7 cups of rye

For 11 cups:

For  11 cup of rye flour = 11 * 2/7

11 cup of rye flour = 22/7=3 1/7 cups

Hence 3 1/7 cups white flour will be needed for every 11 cup of rye flour
