A trail mix recipe calls for 1 cup of nuts for every 2 cups of granola. It you want to make 12 cups of mix how may cups of granola will you use?
Since the ratio given is 1 cup of nuts for every 2 cups of granola, this means that the amount of granola should be twice as much as the amount of nuts.
Let's start by figuring out how many cups of nuts are needed. Since the recipe calls for 1 cup of nuts for every 2 cups of granola, for 12 cups of mix, there will be 6 cups of nuts.
To find out how many cups of granola are needed, we divide the amount of nuts by 2: 6 cups of nuts / 2 = 3 cups of granola.
Therefore, you will use 3 cups of granola to make 12 cups of trail mix.
