Question

Shawna is making smoothies. The recipe calls for two parts yogurt to three parts blueberry. Shawna wants to make 10 cups of smoothie. Mix how many cups of yogurt and blueberries does Shawna need

Answer 1

Shawna needs a mix of 4 cups of yoghurt and 6 cups of blueberries

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of cups of yoghurt and smoothies Shawna needs to make;

We have 2 parts yoghurt and 3 parts blueberry, so we can say we have a ratio of 2:3

The total number of cups to be made is 10

So the number of cups of yoghurt will be;

2/(2+3) * 10

= 2/5 * 10 = 4 cups

The number of cups of blueberry would be;

3/5 * 10 = 6 cups

So a mix of 4 cups of yoghurt and 6 cups of blueberries is needed by Shawna
