a recipe uses 5/8 cup of vegetable oil and 2 cups of water. Write the ratio of vegetable oil to water. Then find the value of the ratio. Simplify the complex fraction.

Answer 1

oil : water = (5/8)cups : 2 cups
since the units are the same, we can say:

oil : water = 5/8 : 2
= 5 : 16 or 1 : 3.2

take your pick
the last one tells me to use 3.2 cups of water for each cup of oil.
