Answer 2

Answer:

Eight cups of yogurt will be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cups of yogurt used in 12 cups of smoothies be x

Cups of juice  used in 12 cups of smoothies = 12- x

The ratio of yogurt to juice is 2 cups to 1 cup that is:

$\frac{Yogurt}{Juice}=\frac{2}{1}$

Ratio will be maintained through out 12 cups of smoothies:

$\frac{Yogurt}{Juice}=\frac{2}{1}=\frac{x}{12-x}$

$2(12-x)=1(x)$

$24-2x=x$

$24=3x$

x = 8

Eight cups of yogurt will be used.
