Question

Mrs.Tong is baking brownies for a school party. The recipe makes 45 brownies. It calls for 3 cups of sugar and 9 eggs. What is the ratio of brownies made to the number of eggs used?

Answer 1

9 eggs used per 45 brownies

So, the ratio is 9:45

However, this can be simplified by dividing both numbers by 9

9 ÷ 9 = 1

45 ÷ 9 = 5

So, the simplified ratio is 1:5
