Jeremiah makes a recipe that calls for 1 and 1/2 cups of flour and 3/4 stick of butter if Jeremiah uses 3 sticks of butter how many cups of flour will he need
we know that the ratio of the recipe=(1 1/2)/(3/4) 1 1/2=1.5 cups of flour 3/4 stick of butter-------> 0.75 stick of butter by proportion 1.5/0.75=x/3---------> 3*1.5=0.75*x x=3*1.5/0.75----------> x=6 cups of flour
