Question

A meatball recipe has a ratio of 2 cups of breadcrumb mixture to 3 pounds of ground meat. How much breadcrumb mixture is there for 1 pound of ground meat?

Answer 1

`0.666...` cups

Explanation:

`2:3`
`x:1`

You need to find the link between the two...

`3/3=1`

And because we know anything you do to one side you have to do to the other, you have to do `2/3`

`2/3=0.666...`

We can write this as `0.6` with a dot above it!
