    Our recipe calls for 2 eggs and 3 cups of sugar. if we want to use 5 eggs, how much sugar will we need?

    Set up a relational proportion for eggs to cups of sugar where s is the number of cups of sugar we need for 5 eggs.
    2/3 = 5/s

    Plugging this into the search engine, we get 7.5 cups of sugar.
