A recipe stated that to bake a perfect cake, sugar and flour should be used in the proportion of 1:1. If 3 ounces of sugar are available to make a 6 ounces cake, how many ounces of flour is required?

Answer 1

Let the quantity of flour required to be x ounces. 

We know that 3 ounces of sugar are required for 6 ounces of cake.
