A recipe for one batch of cookies calls for 5 cups of flour and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Draw a diagram that shows the amount of flour and vanilla needed for two batches of cookies.
A recipe for one batch of cookies calls for 5 cups of flour and 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
How many batches can you make with 15 cups of flour and 6 teaspoons of vanilla?

Whether the ratio of cups of flour to teaspoons of vanilla is 5:2, 10:4 or 15:6, the recipes would make cookies that taste the same. We call these equivalent ratios.
Find another ratio of cups of flour to teaspoons of vanilla that is equivalent to these ratios. How many batches can you make using this new ratio of ingredients?
