Question

miguel is making smoothies out of yogurt and juice to serve his friends, and he needs to make 12 cups. the ratio of yogurt to juice is 2 cups to 1 cup. how much yogurt will he use

Answer 1

Your answer is 8 cups of yogurt and 4 cups of juice!!!

Answer 2

Eight cups of yogurt will be used.

Explanation:

Let cups of yogurt used in 12 cups of smoothies be x

Cups of juice used in 12 cups of smoothies = 12- x

The ratio of yogurt to juice is 2 cups to 1 cup that is:

`(Yogurt)/(Juice)=(2)/(1)`

Ratio will be maintained through out 12 cups of smoothies:

`(Yogurt)/(Juice)=(2)/(1)=(x)/(12-x)`

`2(12-x)=1(x)`

`24-2x=x`

`24=3x`

x = 8

Eight cups of yogurt will be used.
