Question

describe the relationship between the amount of water and oats in the ratio 6 to 4. for every 3 ounces of water, there are 2 ounces of oats. describe the relationship between the ratios 6 to 4 and 3 to 2. the ratio 6 to 4 is equivalent to the ratio 3 to 2 because the relationship between the water and oats is the same. use multiplication to compare the numbers in the equivalent ratios. 3·□ = 6 2·? = 4

Explanation:

Step1: Solve for first missing factor

To find the number that multiplies 3 to get 6, rearrange the equation:
$$\text{Missing number} = \frac{6}{3}$$
$$\text{Missing number} = 2$$

Step2: Solve for second missing factor

To find the number that multiplies 2 to get 4, rearrange the equation:
$$\text{Missing number} = \frac{4}{2}$$
$$\text{Missing number} = 2$$

Answer:

First blank: $2$
Second blank: $2$
