Answer:
5 3/5 cups of Ingredient B
Step-by-step explanation:
A recipe calls for 1/2 cup of ingredient A for every 1 2/5 cups of ingredient B. You use 2 cups of ingredient A. How many cups of ingredient B do you need?
This is calculated as:
1/2 cups of Ingredient A = 1 2/5 cups of Ingredient B
This means:
1/2 cups of Ingredient A = 7/5 cups of Ingredient B
2 cups of Ingredient A = x
Cross Multiply
2 × 7/5 = 1/2 × x
x = 2 × 7/5/1/2
x = 2 × 7/5 ÷ 1/2
x = 2 × 7/5 × 2/1
x = 28/5
x = 5 3/5 cups of Ingredient B
Hence, For 2 cups of Ingredient A, 5 3/5 cups of Ingredient B is needed
