Answer :
a bakery uses 8 tablespoons of honey for every 10 cups of flour so how many tablespoons of honey do they use with 20 cups of flour
we can use a rule of three
Step 1
define
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8\text{ tablespoons of honey}\rightarrow10\text{ cups of flour} \\ x\text{ tablespoons of honey}\rightarrow20\text{ cups of flour} \end{gathered}[/tex]there is a relation between the honey and the flour, is needs to be constant, so
Step 2
fin the ratio
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{10}=\frac{x}{20} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Now
Step 3
solve for x
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{10}=\frac{x}{20} \\ x=\frac{8\cdot20}{10} \\ x=\frac{160}{10} \\ x=16 \end{gathered}[/tex]so, he uses 16 tablespoons
