Question

orly uses 2 cups of raisins for every 8 cups of trail mix she makes. how many cups of trail mix will she make of she uses 10 cups of raisins

Answer 1

Answer: 40 cups of trail mix

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can set up a proportion. We know that Orla uses 2 cups of raisins for every 8 cups of trail mix, which can be written as:

2/8 = 10/x

Where x is the number of cups of trail mix Orla will make if she uses 10 cups of raisins.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

2x = 8 * 10

2x = 80

Then divide by 2:

x = 40

Therefore, if Orla uses 10 cups of raisins, she will make 40 cups of trail mix.
