    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.
