Answer:
The answer is: A. 22.5 lbs or 22 and a half lbs of mashed potatoes. B. 33 1/3 lbs of potatoes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of potatoes is 1.5.
10 lbs potatoes * 1.5 = 15 lbs mashed
So 15 lbs potatoes * 1.5 is: 22.5 lbs mashed potatoes.
Divide 50 lbs mashed potatoes by 1.5 to find how many potatoes are needed:
50/1.5 = 33 1/3 lbs of potatoes.
