A recipe book shows measurement conversions for cups to tablespoons. It shows that 0.5 cup equals 8 tablespoons and 1.5 cups equals 24 tablespoons. Write an equation that shows the proportional relationship between cups and tablespoons where c represents cups and n represents tablespoons. n = 0.0625c c = 0.0625n n equals 0.5 over 8 times c c equals 8 over 0.5 times n
