Question

A snack mix recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of dip and 1/3 cup of vegetables. Cole wants to make the same recipe using 1 cup of vegetables. How many cups of dip will cole need.

​

Answer 1

• 4 1/2 cups of dip

Explanation:

Let required amount be x

Using the ratio to find x:

• 1 1/2 ÷ x = 1/3 ÷ 1
• x = 1 1/2 × 3
• x = 3/2×3
• x = 9/2
• x = 4 1/2 cups
