1 answer

The recipe calls for two parts of borax and two parts of washing soda for every one part of soap flakes. Since Lenny is using 7 cups of soap flakes, he would need 7 cups of borax and 7 cups of washing soda.

In total, Lenny would need 7 cups of borax + 7 cups of washing soda = 14 cups of borax and washing soda combined.

Therefore, the correct answer is 14 cups.
