7. A recipe calls for 4 tbsp of sugar to 10 tbsp of baking powder. What is the ratio in simplest form of the number of tbsp. of baking powder to the
number of tbsp. of sugar in this recipe?
A. 2 to 5
B. 2 to 3 C. 5 to 2 D. 3 to 1

8. which statement is true about proportion?
A. the product of the main is greater than the product of extremes
B. the product of the extremes is greater than the product of the means
C. the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes
D. the product of the 1st ratio is equal to the product of the 2nd ratio​

The correct answers are:

7) 2 to 5

8) the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

7) Number of tbsp of sugar = 4

Number of tbsp of baking powder = 10

∴ ratio of sugar to baking powder = 4 : 10

simplifying further by dividing through by 2

4 : 10 = 2 : 5

∴ ratio of sugar to baking powder = 2 to 5

8) A proportion is a statement that equates two rates or ratios.

For example:

In this equation, the first and the fourth terms (a and d) are called extremes, while the second and third terms are called means.

Therefore, one rule of proportions is that the product of the extremes must equal the product of the means. This means that:

a × d (extremes) = b × c (means)
