Q. A recipe book shows measurement conversions for tablespoons to cups. It shows that

8

tablespoons converts to

0.5

cup and

24

tablespoons converts to

1.5

cups. Write an equation that shows the proportional relationship between cups and tablespoons where

c

represents cups and

n

represents tablespoons.

n = 0.0625c

c = 0.0625n

n

equals

0.5

over

8

times

c

c

equals

8

over

0.5

times

n

Identify Given Values: Step $1$ : Identify the given values from the recipe book. We know $8$ tablespoons equals $0.5$ cups and $24$ tablespoons equals $1.5$ cups.
Calculate Constant of Proportionality: Step $2$ : Calculate the constant of proportionality, $k$ , using the first set of values. $k = \frac{\text{cups}}{\text{tablespoons}} = \frac{0.5}{8}.$
Perform Division for $k$ : Step $3$ : Perform the division to find $k$ . $k = \frac{0.5}{8} = 0.0625$ .
Write Equation with $k$ : Step $4$ : Write the equation using the constant of proportionality. Since $k = 0.0625$ , the relationship between cups ( $c$ ) and tablespoons ( $n$ ) can be expressed as $c = 0.0625n$ .
