Question

A homemade Cane’s sauce recipe I use calls for 2

parts mayonnaise, 1 part ketchup and 1 part yellow
mustard. If I started with 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, how
many cups of ketchup and how many cups of yellow
mustard am I using? Express your numeric values
as fractions, and respond in a sentence.

Answer 1

If mayo is 2 parts with 1/2 cup. Then Ketchup and Mustard should be 1/4 cup each.

Explanation:

Twice the amount of mayo is needed than the ketchup and mustard. So just divide the amount of mayo you started with and that's how much ketchup and mustard you should need.
