Answer:
5 cups of veggies
Step-by-step explanation:
To make the same snack mix recipe with 1 cup of dip instead of 1/2 cup, you can set up a proportion to determine how many cups of veggies Maya will need.
Let "V" represent the cups of veggies needed, and "D" represent the cups of dip needed.
The original recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of veggies and 1/2 cup of dip, which can be represented as:
Veggies (V) : Dip (D)
2 1/2 cups : 1/2 cup
Now, you want to find out how many cups of veggies (V) are needed when the dip (D) is 1 cup. You can set up a proportion:
(2 1/2 cups) / (1/2 cup) = V / 1 cup
Now, you can solve for V:
V = (2 1/2 cups) / (1/2 cup) * 1 cup
To simplify this, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 (to eliminate the fraction):
V = (2 1/2 cups * 2) / (1/2 cup * 2) * 1 cup
V = (5 cups) / (1 cup) * 1 cup
V = 5 cups
Maya will need 5 cups of veggies to make the same snack mix recipe using 1 cup of dip.
