Question

A trail mix recipe calls for 3 cups of raisins and 4 cups of peanuts. Mitt made trail mix for a party and used 5 cups of raisins and 6 cups of peanuts. Did he use the correct ratio of raisins to peanuts?

Answer 1

Answer: no

Explanation:

Recipe calls for a 3:4 ratio of raisins to peanuts

If his intention was to make a 1.5x recipe, he should have used 6 cups peanuts and 4-1/2 cups raisins (not 5!) to make the recipe in the correct ratio.
