    For the Pillsbury one the answer is 28 because if you take 8 divided by 2=4 so 7x4=28 cups of flour.By the way I am a former 6th grader that was in Mr.Brown's class.

    1. RATIO IS 7:4. Kate has 21 so Jenna has 12. 7-4,7-4,7-4. 7x3=21 so 4x3=12.

    2.7 eggs for every 2 cups of flour so he has 8 cups of flours so he will need 28 eggs. 7-2,7-2,7-2,7-2 7x4=28.

    3.ratio is 6:5 6x4=24, 5x4=20. 24divided by 2=1212 divided by 2 =6. 20 divided by 2 = 10 10 divided by 2 =5 6:5

    4. Ratio 8:3 Joeys rope is 56cm 8x7= 56 so 3x7= 21 so Chad rope is 21cm.

    5.3 pints of yellow to every 4 pints of green. He used 27 pints of yellow so 3x9= 27 so 4x9= 36
    so he need 36 pints of green.
