One batch of recipe for bread requires 2/3 cup cold water and ¼ cup of vegetable oil. Which f the following is equivalent to the ratio of water to oil? A. 1/12:1 B. 3/8:1 C. 8/3:1 D. 3/12:1
Simply give the two fractions the same denominator by multiplying both sides of 2/3 by 4 (2* 4 / 3 * 4 = 8/12) and both sides of 1/4 by 3 ( 1 * 3 / 4 * 3 = 3/12) to get a ratio of 8 to 3.
