A sugar mixture has 3 parts water and 2 parts sugar. Suppose the chef adds one more part to each. What is the new ratio of sugar to water?

2 parts sugar to 4 parts water
3 parts sugar to 4 parts water
3 parts sugar to 3 parts water
4 parts sugar to 3 parts water

1 answer

The original mixture consists of 3 parts water and 2 parts sugar. If the chef adds one more part to each, the new amounts will be:

  • Water: \(3 + 1 = 4\) parts
  • Sugar: \(2 + 1 = 3\) parts

Now, the new ratio of sugar to water is:

\[ \text{Sugar : Water} = 3 : 4 \]

Therefore, the answer is 3 parts sugar to 4 parts water.
