Question

A recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise and 3/8 cups of pecans. How much mayonnaise should be used if 1 cup of pecans is used?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 cups of mayonnaise.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the amount of pecans comparing reality and the recipe is:

1 : 3/8

= 1/(3/8)

= 8/3

Hence, to find the amount of mayonnaise that should be added:

8/3 * 3/2

= 8/2

= 4 cups
