Answer:

Francisco will add 10 drops of food coloring to 5 cups of white frosting and get the orange frosting

Step-by-step explanation:

4 drops of food coloring to 2 cups of white frosting and get the orange frosting.

He has 5 cups of white frosting. He doesn't know how many drops of orange food coloring to add

Let x = drops of food coloring he will add

Drops of food coloring : cups of white frosting

4 : 2 = x : 5

4 / 2 = x / 5

Cross multiplication

4 * 5 = 2 * x

20 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

x = 20 / 2

= 10

x = 10 drops of food coloring

Therefore, Francisco will add 10 drops of food coloring to 5 cups of white frosting and get the orange frosting
