The ratio of flour to water in pasta dough is 3 to 2. If these are the only two ingredients what percentage of pasta dough is water?

Respuesta :

Answer: =40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The  ratio of flour to water in pasta dough = 3:2

That means the recipe of pasta dough is , 3 parts of flour to 2 parts of water.

The total number of parts to make a pasta dough = 3+2=5

Hence, the percentage of pasta dough is water=[tex]\frac{\text{parts of water}}{\text{parts of pasta dough}}\times100[/tex]

Thus, the percentage of pasta dough is water=[tex]\frac{2}{5}\times100[/tex]

Therefore,  the percentage of pasta dough is water=40%
