To find out how many cups of blueberries Marco will need if he has 2 cups of flour, we can look at the given ratios between cups of flour and cups of blueberries.

We can write down the ratios based on the table:

  • For 3/4 cup of flour, there are 1/4 cup of blueberries.
  • For 1 cup of flour, there are 1/2 cup of blueberries.
  • For 1 1/2 cups of flour, there are 3/4 cup of blueberries.
  • For 2 cups of flour, there are 7/8 cup of blueberries.
  • For 2 1/4 cups of flour, we can find the ratio to blueberries, and so on.

From the table, when Marco uses 2 cups of flour, the corresponding amount of blueberries is 7/8 cup.

Therefore, if Marco has 2 cups of flour, he will need:

7/8 cup of blueberries.

None of the options provided match 7/8 cup, but since the answer is not provided in the options, it seems there might be a mismatch in the question and the choices.

If you're looking for the best related answer (though not exact from what you've given), it would be B. 2/3 cup, since it's less than the required 7/8 cup.

is B. correct

To clarify, based on the table provided in your question, we determined the amount of blueberries needed for 2 cups of flour.

According to the table, when the amount of flour is:

  • 2 cups of flour, the corresponding amount of blueberries is 7/8 cup.

The choices you provided were:

A. 1/3 cup
B. 2/3 cup
C. 1 1/2 cups
D. 6 cups

Since 7/8 cup is greater than 2/3 cup (which is approximately 0.67 cups), B (2/3 cup) is not correct. The correct amount of blueberries needed when Marco uses 2 cups of flour is 7/8 cup.

So, to be clear, the correct answer is not among the options provided, and B. 2/3 cup is not correct for 2 cups of flour. The correct amount is 7/8 cup.
