8 cups

Answer 2

Because 1/4 is 2 cups, so 2 x 4 = 8

Answer 3

can you show me how you get that

Answer 4

You could set it up like a proportion with (25/2) and (75/x). Then you would cross multiply to solve for x, and get 6 for x. Then you would add this 6 and the 2 (cups of vinegar) to get the total solution, 8 cups.
