a recipe of 2 cakes uses 1/2 cup of salt. If you want to make a total of 6 cakes for your party, how many cups of salt will you need? explain?

You will need 1 1/2 cups of salt because for every two cakes you need a half a cup so you and 1/2 3 times because 2 divided by 6 is 3

you will need 1 and 1/2 cups of salt

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because for every 2 cakes you use 1/2 cups of salt (1.5 cups of salt) so you have a ratio of 2:1.5 if you make the 2 cakes into 6 cakes you multiply everything by three 2*3=6 and 1/2*3 = 1 1/2
