Pounds of beef and potatoes are in ratio or proportion of [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
Correct Question: A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes. The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes. Which proportion represents the situation?
We have , A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes , i.e.
Number of beef stew calls = 1
Number of potatoes = 3
Now , The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes i.e. for every 2 pounds of beef we have 6 potatoes
⇒ [tex]2/6[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{2}{2(3)}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Therefore , Pounds of beef and potatoes are in ratio or proportion of [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] .
