Answer:

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
