0.6 cup of gliter is used for 1 cup of glue and 1.6 cup of gliter glue is made with 1 cup of glue.

Part A

Given that,

15 cup of gliter is for 25 cup of glue ,

Therefore, "X" cup of gliter is for 1 cup of glue

X = (1*15)/25

X= 0.6 cup of gliter

Part B,

Given that,

From part A 0.6 cup of gliter is for 1 cup of glue

Thus, 1 cup of glue and 0.6 cup of gliter when mixed will form "Y" cup of gliter glue

Now, Y= 0.6 cup of gliter + 1 cup of glue

Y= 1.6 cup of gliter glue

which approximates to 2 cup of gliter glue.
