Lenny is making his own laundry soap. The recipe calls for 2 parts borax, 2 parts washing soda, and 1
part soap flakes. If Lenny uses 7 cups of soap flakes, how many cups of borax and washing soda
combined does he need?
part soap flakes. If Lenny uses 7 cups of soap flakes, how many cups of borax and washing soda
combined does he need?
Since the recipe calls for 2 parts borax, 2 parts washing soda, and 1 part soap flakes, the ratio of borax to washing soda to soap flakes is 2:2:1.
Let's assume that Lenny needs x cups of borax and x cups of washing soda. According to the ratio, he will need 2x cups of borax and 2x cups of washing soda.
Since Lenny is using 7 cups of soap flakes, which is 1 part in the ratio, we can set up a proportion to solve for x:
1 part soap flakes / 7 cups soap flakes = 2 parts borax + 2 parts washing soda / 2x cups borax + 2x cups washing soda
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(2x cups borax + 2x cups washing soda) = (1 part soap flakes * 2x cups soap flakes) / (1 part soap flakes)
2x cups borax + 2x cups washing soda = 2x cups soap flakes
2x cups borax + 2x cups washing soda = 7 cups soap flakes
Since we know that Lenny is using 7 cups of soap flakes, we can substitute it into the equation:
2x cups borax + 2x cups washing soda = 7
Now, we can solve for x:
4x cups = 7
x = 7/4
x = 1.75
Therefore, Lenny will need 1.75 cups of borax and 1.75 cups of washing soda combined.

Since the recipe calls for 2 parts borax, 2 parts washing soda, and 1 part soap flakes, the ratio of borax to washing soda to soap flakes is 2:2:1.
This means that for every 2 cups of borax, Lenny will need 2 cups of washing soda and 1 cup of soap flakes.
Since Lenny is using 7 cups of soap flakes, we can calculate the amount of borax and washing soda needed.
For every 1 cup of soap flakes, Lenny will need 2 cups of borax and 2 cups of washing soda.
Therefore, if Lenny uses 7 cups of soap flakes, he will need:
2 cups of borax * (7 cups of soap flakes / 1 cup of soap flakes) = 14 cups of borax
2 cups of washing soda * (7 cups of soap flakes / 1 cup of soap flakes) = 14 cups of washing soda
Therefore, Lenny will need a combined total of 14 cups of borax and washing soda.
This means that for every 2 cups of borax, Lenny will need 2 cups of washing soda and 1 cup of soap flakes.

Lisa adds 2 tsp baking soda to 6 lbs. of flour. How much baking soda should she add to 9 lbs. of flour?
If Lisa adds 2 tsp of baking soda to 6 lbs. of flour, we need to find out the ratio of baking soda to flour.
The ratio of baking soda to flour is 2 tsp : 6 lbs.
To find out how much baking soda should be added to 9 lbs. of flour, we can set up a proportion:
2 tsp / 6 lbs = x tsp / 9 lbs
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
2 tsp * 9 lbs = 6 lbs * x tsp
18 tsp lbs = 6x tsp lbs
Dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we get:
18/6 = x
3 = x
Therefore, Lisa should add 3 tsp of baking soda to 9 lbs. of flour.
