B. How many pounds of potatoes are needed to make 50 pounds of mashed potatoes?

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

The answer is: A. 22.5 lbs or 22 and a half lbs of mashed potatoes. B. 33 1/3 lbs of potatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of potatoes is 1.5.

10 lbs potatoes * 1.5 = 15 lbs mashed

So 15 lbs potatoes * 1.5 is: 22.5 lbs mashed potatoes.

Divide 50 lbs mashed potatoes by 1.5 to find how many potatoes are needed:

50/1.5 = 33 1/3 lbs of potatoes.
