Answer:

You'll need 18 cups of chicken broth!

Step-by-step explanation:

You are using a ratio of 1/4 cup (lentils) to 2 cup (broth). Therefore, you need to find the relationship between lentil and broth.

  • In order to get from 1/4 to 2, you multiply by 8. (1/4 * 8 = 2)
  • Therefore, the common relationship is multiplying the lentil amount by 8
  • So, 2 1/4 * 8 = 18

Therefore, 18 cups are needed :D
