   2. 3:4
   3. 1:1
   4. 2:3

   The proportion can be expressed by directly taking the amounts given in the recipe as 4 cups of flour to 3 cups of sugar, which is 4:3.

3. A farmer has a field in the ratio of 3:5 for corn and wheat. If he grows 36 acres of corn, how much wheat does he grow?

   1. 60 acres
   2. 72 acres
   3. 54 acres
   4. 48 acres
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 60 acres

   The ratio of corn to wheat is 3:5. If he grows 36 acres of corn (which is 3 parts), then wheat (5 parts) would be (5/3) * 36 = 60 acres.

   1. 9
   2. 8
   3. 7
   4. 6
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 9

   Using the given ratio, if we use 6 cups of sugar, we need (3/2) * 6 = 9 cups of flour.

5. You are mixing two kinds of juice in the ratio 3:2. If you need a total of 50 liters of juice, how much of each juice do you need?

   1. 30 liters, 20 liters
   2. 25 liters, 25 liters
   3. 20 liters, 30 liters
   4. 40 liters, 10 liters
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 30 liters, 20 liters

   Let 3x + 2x = 50. Hence, 5x = 50 gives x = 10. So, the juices required would be 3x = 30 liters and 2x = 20 liters.
