Answer:
[tex]ratio=\frac{3}{5}\ \frac{cups\ tomato\ sauce}{pounds\ ground\ beef}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ---> cups of tomato sauce
y ---> pounds of ground beef
we know that
To find out the ratio, divide the number of cups of tomato sauce used by the number of pounds of ground beef used
[tex]ratio=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]
The ratio is 3:5
so
[tex]x=3\ cups\ tomato\ sauce\\y=5\ pounds\ ground\ beef[/tex]
substitute in the fraction
[tex]ratio=\frac{3}{5}\ \frac{cups\ tomato\ sauce}{pounds\ ground\ beef}[/tex]
