Question

Making laundry soap recipe calls for two parts borax, two parts washing soda and one part soap flakes if I use 7 cups of soap flakes, how many cups of borax washing soda combine does it require

Answer 1

In your laundry soap recipe, the ratio of borax to washing soda to soap flakes is 2:2:1. This means that for every 1 part of soap flakes, you have 2 parts of borax and 2 parts of washing soda.

If you are using 7 cups of soap flakes, you will need:

- **Borax:** 2 parts = 2 * 7 cups = 14 cups
- **Washing Soda:** 2 parts = 2 * 7 cups = 14 cups

So, you will need **14 cups of borax** and **14 cups of washing soda** to combine with the 7 cups of soap flakes.
