For a recipe, Amos uses 4 cups of sugar for every 5 cups of flour. Which of the following show the equivalent ratio for sugar to flour?

A. 15/25
B. 2/5
C. 14/15
D. 32/40

Answer :

Answer: 32/40

Step-by-step explanation: Our original ratio here for sugar/flour is 4/5, but as that's not an answer choice, we need to look for an answer choice where the ratio reduces to 4/5. 32/40 is the answer because 32 and 40 are multiples of 4 and 5 respectively:

32/8 =4, and

40/8=5, so

32/40 is equal to 4/5.
