Flour and Oatmeal Ratio Problems

The video tutorial explains how to determine the amount of flour needed for a large batch of oatmeal cookies using a given recipe. The recipe requires 2 cups of flour for every 3 cups of oatmeal. The tutorial sets up a proportion to solve for the amount of flour needed when using 9 cups of oatmeal. By solving the proportion, it is determined that 6 cups of flour are required. The tutorial walks through the steps of setting up the equation, solving it, and verifying the result.

What is the initial ratio of flour to oatmeal in the recipe?

• 2 cups of flour to 3 cups of oatmeal

• 3 cups of flour to 2 cups of oatmeal

• 1 cup of flour to 2 cups of oatmeal

• 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of oatmeal

How many cups of oatmeal are used in the big batch of cookies?

• 12 cups

• 9 cups

• 3 cups

• 6 cups

What variable is used to represent the unknown amount of flour needed?

• y

• z

• x

• f

What is the proportion set up to solve for the unknown flour amount?

• x/2 = 9/3

• 9/x = 2/3

• 2/3 = x/9

• 3/2 = x/9

Why do we multiply both sides of the equation by 9?

• To make the equation more complex

• To eliminate the numerator

• To simplify the fraction

• To cancel out the 9 in the denominator

What is the result of dividing 9 by 3 in the equation?

• 3

• 1

• 6

• 2

What is the final value of x, representing the cups of flour needed?

• 12 cups

• 9 cups

• 6 cups

• 3 cups

What does the equation 6/1 = x/1 simplify to?

• x = 1

• x = 3

• x = 6

• x = 9

How many cups of flour are needed for 9 cups of oatmeal according to the recipe?

• 4 cups

• 5 cups

• 6 cups

• 7 cups
