Question

You mix 1/2 cup of oats for every 1/4 cup of honey to make 12 cups of granola. How much oats and how much honey do you use?

Answer 1

Answer:

I will use 6 cups of oats and 1 cup of honey to make 12 cups of granula .

Explanation:

Let x be the number of cups of oats and let y be the number of cups of honey. Given statement can be expressed in fractions as

½ x / ¼ y = 12

4x/2y = 12

2x/y = 12

x/y = 12/2 = 6/1

x=6, y=1

Therefore number of cups of oats = x = 6 cups

Number of cups of honey = y = 1 cup
