Travis was attempting to make muffins to take to a neighbor that had just moved in down the street. The recipe that he was using required 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/8 cup of butter. 1. Travis accidentally put a whole cup of butter in the mix.
A. What is the ratio of sugar to butter in the original recipe? What amount of sugar does Travis need to put into the mix to have the same ratio of sugar to butter that the original recipe calls for?

B. If Travis wants to keep the ratios the same as they are in the original recipe, how will the amounts of all the other ingredients for this new mixture compare to the amounts for a single batch of muffins?

C. The original recipe called for 3/8 cup of blueberries. What is the ratio of blueberries to butter in the recipe? How many cups of blueberries are needed in the new enlarged mixture?

A. (3/4) : (1/8)

Travis must add 6 cups of sugar to maintain the ratio.

B. Travis must multiply the ratio of all other ingredients by 8.

C. (3/8) : (1/8)

Travis must add 3 cups of blueberries to maintain the ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

3/4 * 8

24/4

6 cups of sugar to maintain the same ratio.

B. 1/8 turned into 1 so that means it was multiplied by 8

C. 3/8 are blueberries and 1/8 is butter

(3/8) * 8

3

This took a long time to do... reward?

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
