Marco is making blueberry muffins. The ratio between flour and blueberries for the recipe being used is shown in the table below.

Question

table: 3/4 cups of flower = 1/4 cup of blue berries
1 1/2 cups of flower = 1/2 cups of blue berries
2 1/4 cups of flower = 3/4 cups of blue berries
2 5/8 cups of flower = 7/8 cups of blue berries

how many cups of blue berries will marco need if he has 2 cups of flower to use?

1/3 cup

2/3 cups

1 1/2 cups

6 cups

Answer 1

To find out how many cups of blueberries Marco will need with 2 cups of flour, we can use the ratio from the table.

From the table, we can see that 2 1/4 cups of flour is equal to 3/4 cups of blueberries.

So, if Marco has 2 cups of flour, we can set up the following ratio:

(2 1/4 cups of flour) / (3/4 cups of blueberries) = (2 cups of flour) / (x cups of blueberries)

Cross multiplying, we get:

(2 1/4 cups of flour) * (x cups of blueberries) = (2 cups of flour) * (3/4 cups of blueberries)

Simplifying, we get:

(9/4) * (x) = (2) * (3/4)

Multiply both sides by 4/9 to solve for x:

x = (2) * (3/4) * (4/9)
x = 6/9
x = 2/3

So, Marco will need 2/3 cups of blueberries if he has 2 cups of flour. Answer: 2/3 cups.
