question:
1.)How much sugar should Mariah use?
2.)Explain why your answer is correct.

Cross multiply:

(3x2) / 5x = 6 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

X = 6/5 cups of

B. Setting up a ratio calculates the proper amount of ingredients

rounding to the nearest thousandth would be 452,000

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5
