D. 6
cups

1 answer

To determine how many cups of blueberries Marco will need if he has 2 cups of flour, we'll need to know the ratio of flour to blueberries from the table you mentioned. However, since the specific ratio is not provided, I will guide you through the general process:

  1. Assume a ratio: If the ratio of cups of flour to cups of blueberries is \( x:y \), you can set it up as: \[ \frac{\text{Flour}}{\text{Blueberries}} = \frac{x}{y} \]

  2. Plug in the value: If Marco has 2 cups of flour, you can use the ratio to find how many cups of blueberries he will need: \[ \frac{2}{\text{Blueberries}} = \frac{x}{y} \] which rearranges to: \[ \text{Blueberries} = \frac{2 \cdot y}{x} \]

  3. Determine the specific answer: If you provide the specific ratio from the table, I can calculate the exact amount of blueberries needed.

Since the ratio is unknown in this case, I cannot provide a specific answer from the options A, B, C, or D without that information. Please provide the missing ratio to receive an accurate calculation!
