Tye is making some trail mix based on a recipe that combines 2 cups of nuts with 3 cups of granola. if tye has 6 cups of nuts, how many cups of granola should he use?

9 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of cups of nuts to cups of granola = 2:3

This means that total ratio = 2+3 = 5

Proportion of nuts = 2/5

Proportion of granola = 3/5

So, if Tye has 6 cups of nuts, then 6  represent a proportion of 2/5

then 3/5  would represent how many cups? =

The 5 at the top and 5 at the bottom cancel out and you are left with;

=(3*6) /2

=18 /2

= 9 cups

correct
