5 men / 3 women 5 men : 3 women 5 men to 3 women
Example: 20 g of flour
Example: 20 g of flour/ 8g of sugar
To find the GCF of 20 and 8, write down all of the factors of both numbers (the numbers that can multiply to make those numbers and thus can be evenly divided into those numbers) and find the largest number that is evenly divisible into both. Here’s how you do it: 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 8: 1, 2, 4, 8 4 is the GCF of 20 and 8 – it’s the largest number that evenly divides into both numbers. To get your simplified ratio, simply divide both numbers by 4: 20/4 = 5 8/4 = 2 Your new ratio is 5 g flour/ 2 g sugar.
Divide the first number by the second number. Ex: 5/2 = 2. 5. Multiply the result by 100. Ex: 2. 5 * 100 = 250. Add a percentage sign. 250 + % = 250%. This indicates that for every 1 unit of sugar, there is 2. 5 units of flour; it also means that there is 250% as much flour as there is sugar.
2 cups water/ 1 cup pasta * 2/ 2 = 4 cups water/ 2 cups pasta. You’ll need 4 cups of water to boil 2 cups of pasta.
