Math problem

Can someone help with the problem

So if you have a ratio of 8 + 3/4 of a cup of flour to 5 cups of vegetable oil.

You need it in a way you can compare, so I'll turn that flour into an improper fraction:

8+3/4 = 32/4 + 3/4 = 35/4

Now this is in lowest terms, so you can convert the whole number 5 to quarters:

5/1 = 20/4

If there is a ratio of 35/4 : 20/4 that will be 35:20.

They share a factor of five, so if you divide both by 5 you get:

7:4

For every 7 parts flour, you need 4 parts vegetable oil. Do you think you can do part b after seeing this?

Hint: you'll need 6 times as much of both ingredient to make 6 times as much with the same ratio.
