Answer 2

Answer: 18 cups.

Explanation:

From the given picture we can see

The ration of sugar to cinnamon in the donuts topping =
`\frac{\text{no. of blue box }}{\text{no. of green box}}=(3)/(2)=3:2`

Thus, the number of sugar cups to make 1 donuts topping=
`(3)/(3+2)=(3)/(5)`

The number of sugar cups to make 30 cups of donuts toppings
`(3)/(5)*30`

`=3*6\\=18\ cups`

The number of cups required to make 30 cups of donuts toppings=18 cups
