What are ratio and proportion?
A ratio is a group of sequentially ordered numbers a and b expressed as a/b, where b is never equal to zero. When two objects are equal, a statement is said to be proportional.
To make 12 ounces of hot cocoa 3 tablespoons of cocoa are required.
Let 'x' be the number of tablespoons of cocoa powder.
Then the number of tablespoons of cocoa that are expected to make 72 ounces of hot cocoa will be given as,
x / 72 = 3 / 12
Simplify the equation, then the value of 'x' is given as,
x / 72 = 3 / 12
x / 6 = 3
x = 18
