He will use 11 and half cups of olive oil to use with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Olive oil used in recipe = 23 cups

Cinnamon used in recipe = 2 teaspoons

Ratio of cinnamon to olive oil in recipe = 2:23

Cinnamon Leon has = 1 teaspoon

Let x be the olive oil.

Ratio of available cinnamon to olive oil = 1:x

Using proportion;

Ratio of cinnamon to olive oil in recipe :: Ratio of available cinnamon to olive oil

$2:23::1:x$

Product of extreme = Product of mean

$2*x=23*1\\2x=23$

Dividing both sides by 2;

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{23}{2}\\x=11.5$

11.5 can also be written as $11\frac{1}{2}$

He will use 11 and half cups of olive oil to use with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
