Step by step explanation:

The ratio we have is 2:5. 2 is the value for eggs, while 5 is potatoes. We used 6 eggs. Start by dividing 6 by 2, as that's our ratio half.

6 / 2 = 3.

We can check that by doing 2 x 3 = 6.

Since it took 3 times the usual ratio, we have to multiply the other side of the equation too.

5 x 3 = 15

Answer:

15 potatoes
