For this case we are going to define the following variables:
x: number of cups of sugar
y: number if apples
We then have the following relationship:
[tex] \frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{16} [/tex]
For 4 apples we have: [tex] \frac{x}{4} = \frac{2}{16} [/tex]
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
[tex]x = 4 \frac{2}{16} [/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{8}{16} [/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Answer:
you need 1/2 cups of sugar if you have 4 apples
