Question

A recipe calls for 112 cups of mayonnaise and 38 cups of pecans. How much mayonnaise should be used if 1 cup of pecans is used?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 cups of mayonnaise will be required for 1 cup of pecan.

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe calls for 112 cups of mayonnaise and 38 cups of pecans.

By using unitary method,

∵ 38 cups of pecans require mayonnaise = 112 cups

∴ 1 cup pecans requires mayonnaise = $\frac{112}{38}$ cups

                                                             = 2.95 cups

                                                             ≈ 3 cups

Therefore, 3 cups of mayonnaise will be required for 1 cup of pecan.
