Answer:
7 1/2 cups of mix
Step-by-step explanation:
This looks like a question involving proportions, so I'm going to set up some proportions to help us find the correct answer:
[tex]\frac{1\frac{1}{2} }{7} =\frac{x}{35}[/tex]
What I immediately notice is that I can multiply the 7 on the denominator of the first proportion by 5 to get to the denominator of the second proportion, which is 35.
So, I can multiply 1 1/2 (or 3/2) by 5 to find the value of x:
[tex]\frac{3}{2} *\frac{5}{1} =\frac{15}{2} =7\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
So, the answer is 7 1/2 cups of mix. Hopefully that's helpful! :)
