To make mashed potatoes from a box you need 2/3 cups of water and 1/8 cups of milk. Write a unit rate equivalent to the ratio of water to milk

Respuesta :

Answer:

16:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of water needed = 2/3

Cups of milk needed = 1/8

We need to find a unit rate equivalent to the ratio of water to milk. Dividing the amount of water needed to that of cups. So,

[tex]R=\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{8}}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 8\\\\=\dfrac{16}{3}[/tex]

So, the required ratio is 16:3.
