Han and Tyler are following a polenta that uses 5 cups of water for every 2 cups of cornmeal
— Han says “I am using 3 cups of water. I will need 1 1/5 cups of cornmeal.”
— Tyler says, “ I am using 3 cups of cornmeal. I will need 7 1/2 cups of water.”

Respuesta :

Answer:

yes they are using the right ratio

The ratio of Han's measurements and Tyler's measurements corresponds with polenta measurement

Given:

Polenta:

Cups of water = 5

Cornmeal = 2

Ratio of cups of water to cornmeal = 5 : 2

= 5/2

= 2.5

Han:

Cups of water = 3

Cornmeal = 1 1/5

= 6/5

Ratio of cups of water to cornmeal = 3 : 6/5

= 3 ÷ 6/5

= 3 × 5/6

= 15/6

= 2.5

Tyler:

Cups of water = 7 1/2

= 15/2

Cornmeal = 3

Ratio of cups of water to cornmeal = 15/2 : 3

= 15/2 × 1/3

= 15/6

= 2.5

Therefore, the ratio of Han's measurements and Tyler's measurements corresponds with polenta measurement.
