Question

A snack mix recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of dip and 1/2 cup of veggies. Austin wants to make the same recipe using 1 cup of veggies. How many cups of dip will Austin need?

Answer 1

The original recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of dip and 1/2 cup of veggies, so you + both together which is a total of 1 3/4 cups of ingredients.

If Austin wants to use 1 cup of veggies instead of 1/2 cup, he needs to double the recipe. To keep the same ratio of dip to veggies, he will also need to double the amount of dip.

1 3/4 cups (original recipe) x 2 = 3 1/2 cups

Therefore, Austin will need 3 1/2 cups of dip to make the recipe using 1 cup of veggies.
