Reasoning with Ratios for a Recipe | 6.RP.A.3

The video tutorial teaches how to reason with ratios by adapting a cookie recipe. It involves two parts: Part A focuses on identifying a 4:1 ratio of ingredients, while Part B deals with a more complex 3/2:1 ratio. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of maintaining proportional relationships to preserve the recipe's flavor profile. Through mathematical reasoning, viewers learn to double or halve ingredients to achieve desired ratios, demonstrating the practical application of math in everyday scenarios.

In Part B, what is the new ratio of ingredients that you need to consider?

How do you calculate three halves cups of flour in relation to the original recipe?

What mathematical reasoning is used to adapt the cookie recipe without changing its flavor profile?
