You can put this solution on YOUR website! A recipe calls for 3 1/2 cups of flour and 3/4 cup of sugar. If you want to make the recipe with 6 cups of flour, about how much sugar will you need?
--------
sugar/flour = sugar/flour
s/6 = (3/4)/(7/2)
----
s = (18/4)*(2/7)
------
s = 9/7 = 1 2/7 cups of sugar needed
