A recipe has 3 tablespoons of cinnamon and 4 tablespoons of vanilla. How many tablespoons of cinnamon are needed per tablespoon of vanilla?

Answer :

To determine the amount of cinnamon per tablespoon of vanilla, divide the cinnamon by the vanilla. You need 0.75 tablespoons of cinnamon per tablespoon of vanilla.

This question demands basic understanding of proportion in general and division in general.

The student is looking to find out how many tablespoons of cinnamon are needed per tablespoon of vanilla according to a recipe. The given recipe has 3 tablespoons of cinnamon and 4 tablespoons of vanilla. To find out the ratio of cinnamon to vanilla, we divide the amount of cinnamon by the amount of vanilla. We get 3/4 which simplifies to 0.75.

Therefore, you need 0.75 tablespoons or 3/4th tablespoon of cinnamon for every tablespoon of vanilla.

I don't understand the English. I would've loved to help though.
