Answer 1

The recipe would be for 8 cups. Since 5.2 /.65=8

Answer 2

8 cups

Explanation:

Let's think about it as follows if 5.2 cups are equal to 65%, how many cups correspond to 100%.

We raised it using a simple rule of three

`65\longrightarrow 5.2\\ 100\longrightarrow x\\ x=(100.(5.2))/(65)=8`
