Caleb is making a soil mix that is 3 parts peat moss to 12 parts dirt. How much dirt should he use for every 1 cup of peat moss?
A He should add cup of dirt
B. He should add cup of dirt.
4
He should add 3 cups of dirt.
He should add 4 cups of dirt
since it is a ratio of 3:12, it can be put as a fraction of 3/12 which can be simplified to 1/4 thus is the ratio of 1:4 thus 1 part peat moss to 4 parts dirt and since the measurement is cup, you change parts to cups and you have your answer.
