Question

Lily is making a snack mix for her friends .The recipe shows the amount of each ingredient needed to make 8 bags.

Answer 1

Okay, let's explain each option to better understand it.
A. The ratio is 2:0.25. When we multiply both sides by 4, we find the ratio 8:1. Option A is not the answer
B. To make 8 bags, she needs 0.5 cups of pecans. Knowing that 16/8 = 2, 0.5*2 = 1. Option B is correct.
C. She requires 2.5 cups of crackers for 8 bags. Knowing that 24/8 = 3, 2.5*3 = 7.5. Thus, Option C is not the answer.
D. She needs one cup of raisins to make 8 bags. She needs 2 cups to make 16 bags, not 1.5.
We can safely say that Option B is correct
