Question

2 cups is to 8 cans as 14 cups is to
cans.

Answer 1

To solve the ratio, we can set it up as follows:

We know that:
2 cups = 8 cans

We can find out how many cans correspond to 14 cups using the same ratio:

\[
\frac{2 \text{ cups}}{8 \text{ cans}} = \frac{14 \text{ cups}}{x \text{ cans}}
\]

Now, we can cross-multiply:

\[
2x = 8 \times 14
\]

Calculating the right side:

\[
2x = 112
\]

Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

\[
x = \frac{112}{2} = 56
\]

So, 14 cups is to 56 cans. Thus, the answer is:

**56 cans**.
