Your teacher asks you to find a recipe that includes two ingredients with a rate of 2 units over 3 units.

There are various recipes that use a ratio of one item to another as the rate of 2 : 3.

For instance, for chicken casserole, a recipe may tell you to use 2 cups of cooked rice to 3 cups of cooked (diced) chicken.

Are you sure you typed that correctly?

I'm very confused on what this is asking. Rates and recipes? I have no idea what this means, and it looks lke nonsense to me, but perhap Melody, CPhil, or geno3141 could help.

yeah, maybe. i dont get what its really asking me for.

I don't think ingredients naturally have rates associated with them. Rates of what?

Also, two ingredients is kind of general.

i typed it correctly. i just want to know what it wants me to do.

Just wait a moment, someone with more knowledge of math will come soon.

Ah, that's what it means. I usually think of that in terms of "ratio" for non-speed based situations. I thought rate was only used for speed. This looks like a poorly worded problem to me.

oh, okai. thanks you guys are lifesavers.

exactly! they dont really make sense.

The wording of the question is very poor mathematician - it would have confused me too :)

If you triple it what would you get?

Or would the rate change?

I'm wondering the same thing.

The Rate would change. The new recipe is 6 cups of cooked rice for 9 cups of diced chicken.

I think this is such a coincidance because I was looking up this problem for my math class. Did you get the problem in a 7 grades mathbook? That's where I got mine. I am a seventh grader. :)
