Balance this equation using the lowest whole number coefficients. c6h12o6 --> c2h5oh + co2

For this equation to be balanced, you'd need:

C₆H₁₂O₆ = 1   (Which has an atomic mass of 180.15588)

C₂H₅OH = 2  (Which has an atomic mass of 46.06844)

CO₂ = 2   (Which has an atomic mass of 44.0095)

I hope I helped :)

So what you would do is go through and add 3 teaspoons(tsp) 6 times because of the 6 tablespoons(tbsp). which will give you an answer of 18. another way is to multiply 3x6=18.

The ratio is 3: 2. i.e. c.
