A recipe for Chex mix calls for peanuts, m&ms, and Chex cereal in the ratio of 2:3:5. How many cups of cereal will you need if you use 1.5 cups of M&Ms

1 cups of cereal will be needed

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is given as;

2:3:5

M&M takes 3 while cereal takes 2

This means the ratio of M&M to cereal is 3:2

So let us look at the ratio of the two

3/2 = 1.5/x

= 2 * 1.5 = 3 * x

3x = 3

x = 3/3

x = 1

one that is bigger than 3 1/2

40 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

add the time and multiply by 2
