Question

Write a proportion

Answer 1

Answer:

3 3/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to see how many cups of bananas are in each smoothie

2 1/2 divided by 4 = 0.625

now that we know how many cups of bananas are in each smoothie we can add that twice to the amount of bananas needed to make four smoothies

0.625 x 2 = 1. 25 or 1 1/4

then add that to the 2 1/2

1 1/4 + 2 1/2 = 3.75 or 3 3/4 cups

another way to do it is to divide the 4 cups then add that to the 2 1/2 cups:

2 1/2 divided by 2 = 1.25 or 1 1/4 cups

then add that to the 2 1/2 cups:

2 1/2 + 1 1/4 = 3.75 or 3 3/4 cups

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4 smoothies = 2 1/2 banana

you need to make 2 more smoothies, So half of what you did already.

(2.5)/2= 1.25 then add them (2.5)+(1.25)

6 smoothies = 3.75 or 3 3/4, same thing.
