Answer 1

Lucas needs 12 cups of dried cherries and 24 cups of dried apricots to make one dozen of snacks for his team

Explanation:

For each snacks Lucas uses one cup of dried cherries and 2 cup of dried apricots. One dozen of snack contains a total of 12 snacks. Therefore to prepare 12 snacks (one dozen) the number of dried cherries and dried apricots can be gotten by multiplying the number of dried cherries and dried apricots required for each snack by 12.

Number of dried cherries = 1 cup for each snack × 12 snacks = 12 cups

Number of dried apricots = 2 cup for each snack × 12 snacks = 24 cups

Lucas needs 12 cups of dried cherries and 24 cups of dried apricots to make one dozen of snacks for his team
