Answer 2

The Rate of cups of lime is
`(2)/(5)` cups per cup of yogurt

Explanation:

Given

Represent Lime Juice with L and Greek Yogurt with Y

`(4)/(5)\L = 2Y`

Required

Determine the rate of lime juice per Greek Yogurt

`(4)/(5)\L = 2Y`

To do this, we simply divide both sides by 2

`(4)/(5)\L/2 = 2Y/2`

`(4)/(5)\L * (1)/(2) = 2Y * (1)/(2)`

`(2)/(5)\L = Y`

Hence:

The Rate of cups of lime is
`(2)/(5)` cups per cup of yogurt
