My teacher usually gives out a good bit of homework, but today she only gave us this problem.
A cookie recipe calls for 1 cup of white sugar, to 3 cups of brown sugar. Write the value of the ratio of the amount of white sugar to the amount of brown sugar. Next, write an equation that shows the relationship of the amount of white sugar, to the amount of brown sugar.
This seems kinda easy but how would I write an equation? I think that the value of white to brown sugar is 1:3 since ou can't simplify it anymore, but I dunno. Please help me!
