  1. A recipe uses 3 eggs for every 5 cups of flour. How many eggs are needed for 15 cups of flour?
    1. 9
    2. 6
    3. 10
    4. 12
  2. Complete the ratio table for lemon juice to water in Chef Reyes's lemonade recipe (1 cup lemon juice for every 4 cups water).
  3. In a ratio table, the ratio of sugar to butter is 3:2. If you use 12 cups of sugar, how many cups of butter do you need?
    1. 8
    2. 6
    3. 10
    4. 9
  4. Find Devon's Mistake
    1. Step 1: Read the problem — A recipe uses 5 cups of oats for every 2 cups of honey. Complete the table for 3 batches.
    2. Step 2: Find the scale factor — 3 batches → multiply by 3
    3. Step 3: Scale the oats — 5 × 3 = 15 cups of oats
    4. Step 4: Scale the honey — 2 + 3 = 5 cups of honey

    Which step has the mistake? Explain it and write the correct work.
