Answer 1

mr tanaka is making miso soup for his family. the recipe calls for 350 ml of dashi. mr tanaka plants to make a smaller batch using 280 ml of dashi. he wants to know what percent of the stock he will use compared to the original recipe.

find an equivalent ratio where the amount of stock is 100 ml

stock mr tanaka used: (ml) 280 __
stock in recipe: (ml) 350 100

Answer 2

To find the equivalent ratio, we can set up a proportion:

280 ml of dashi used by Mr. Tanaka / 350 ml of dashi in the original recipe = 100 ml of dashi / ?

Cross multiply to solve for the unknown amount of dashi:

280 * ? = 350 * 100
280? = 35000
? = 35000 / 280
? = 125

So, Mr. Tanaka used 125 ml of dashi in the smaller batch, which is 35.71% of the original 350 ml of dashi used in the full recipe.

Answer 3

To find the percentage of the stock Mr. Tanaka will use compared to the original recipe, we need to find the ratio of the dashi used by Mr. Tanaka to the amount called for in the original recipe.

Let's set up a proportion:

280 ml of dashi used by Mr. Tanaka / 350 ml of dashi in the original recipe = x ml of dashi / 100 ml

Cross multiply to solve for x:

280 * 100 = 350 * x
28000 = 350x
x = 28000 / 350
x = 80

So, Mr. Tanaka will use 80 ml of dashi in the smaller batch, which is 80% of the original 350 ml of dashi used in the full recipe.
