OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's 12 cups times 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then that's how many cups he'd use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's not one of the answers its either 3, 4, 8, or 9.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh! okay, i see what i did wrong. since the ratio is 2:1, it's saying the '2' is the yogurt and the one is the juice, so set up the equation as 2x+x=12
