Answer:

She will use the ratio shortening to flour as 4 : 15

Step-by-step explanation:

When Mrs. Stewart makes pie dough, she uses \dfrac{2}{3} cups of shortening for every 2\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{5}{2} cups of flour.

So, for each \dfrac{2}{3} cup of shortening she uses \dfrac{5}{2} cups of flour.

Then, the ratio of shortening to flour in the mixture of pie dough will be  

\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3} }{\dfrac{5}{2} } = \dfrac{4}{15} i.e. 4 : 15.

Therefore, she will use the ratio shortening to flour as 4 : 15 to find the amount of flour she needs when she uses 5 cups of shortening. (Answer)
