Question

Orly uses 2 cups of raisins for every 8 cups of trail mix she makes. How many cups of trail mix will she make if she uses 10 cups of raisins?

Answer 1

She uses 2 cups for every 8 cups.  So multiply 2 x 5, and 8 x 5, and you will get the same ratio.  Or 10 cups of raisins to 40 cups of trail mix

Answer 2

Hey there!


Orly would make 40 cups of trial mix.


Work: 2 x 5 = 10

so 8 x 5 = 40


Hope this helps!
