A cake mix calls for these ingredients.

3 cups of milk

6 cups of flour

2 cups of sugar

1 cup of oil

Which is the lowest ratio?

A. Milk/Flower

B. Sugar/Milk

C. Oil/Sugar

D. Sugar/Flower

The answer is D: sugar/flower. Think about it as fractions. Milk to Flower is 3:6 which equals 1:2. Sugar to milk is 2:3 which equals 2:3. Oil to sugar is 1:2 which equals 1:2. Sugar to flower is 2:6 which equals 1:3. 1/3 is clearly the smallest fraction so D is the right answer.
