A recipe requires sugar and flour in the ratio \(7:11\). If you have 154 grams of sugar and want to maintain the same proportion, how much flour should you use?
242 grams
The ratio of sugar to flour is \(7:11\).
Since 154 grams of sugar corresponds to the 7 parts, one part \(= 154 \div 7 = 22\) grams.
Flour corresponds to 11 parts, so flour \(= 11 \times 22 = 242\) grams.
Hence, 242 grams of flour should be used.
