Answer:

Option B)


b = (2)/(5)f

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Priya uses
7(1)/(2) cups of flour to make 3 loaves of banana bread.

Thus, we can write the ration of bread to amount of flour used as:


\text{Ratio} = (3)/(7(1)/(2)) = (3)/((15)/(2)) = (6)/(15)

Now, b loaves of banana bread using f cups of flour.

This measurement will follow the same ratio.

Thus, we can write:


(b)/(f) = (6)/(15)\\\\b = (2)/(5)f

Thus, the correct answer is

Option B)


b = (2)/(5)f
