1
2 cup of ingredient A for every 1 and two fifths1
2
5 cups of ingredient B. You use 44 cups of ingredient A. How many cups of ingredient B do you need?

Answer 1

Hi Kaylee, if you use 44 cups of ingredient A and the recipe calls for 1/2 cup, you have made up 88 batches since each cup of ingredient A used makes 2 batches using 1/2 cup each.

 

If each batch needs 1 and 2/5 cups of ingredient B, 88 batches would need 123 and 1/5 cups of ingredient B.
