Question

In Felicia’s lasagna recipe, for every 3 cups of tomato sauce, 5 pounds of ground beef are used. Write this ratio using a fraction. Label the numbers in the fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

$ratio=\frac{3}{5}\ \frac{cups\ tomato\ sauce}{pounds\ ground\ beef}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> cups of tomato sauce

y ---> pounds of ground beef

we know that

To find out the ratio, divide the number of cups of tomato sauce used by the number of pounds of ground beef used

$ratio=\frac{x}{y}$

The ratio is 3:5

so

$x=3\ cups\ tomato\ sauce\\y=5\ pounds\ ground\ beef$

substitute in the fraction

$ratio=\frac{3}{5}\ \frac{cups\ tomato\ sauce}{pounds\ ground\ beef}$
