A recipe for orange water says, “Mix 3 teaspoons of yellow water with 1 teaspoon red water.” For this recipe, we might say: “The ratio of teaspoons of yellow water to teaspoons of red water is 3:1.” 1. Write a ratio for 2 batches of this recipe. 2. Write a ratio for 4 batches of this recipe

Well, we know that 3:1 is one batch of orange water. We also know that there are 2 things to focus on.

1. Must write ratio for 2 batches of the recipe.

2. Must write ratio for 4 batches of the recipe.

To make this equation simple, double the ratio to find 2 batches because all it means is 2x more water.

3:1

x2

6:2

So, the ratio would be 6:2 to make 2 batches.

To make it easier again, we just multiply the ratio of 2 batches by 2 which would find the ratio for 4 batches.

6:2

x2

12:4

So that means, that it is 6:2 for 2 batches, and 12:4 for four batches.
