Answer:

Cream = 3 cups

Chocolate = 6 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Cream = 1 cup

Chocolate = 2 cups

Total = 3 cups

Cream : chocolate = 1 : 2

He uses 9 cups of these two ingredients. How many cups of chocolate does he use in this candy recipe?

Cream = ratio of cream/total ratio of total cups

= 1/3 of 9

= 1/3 × 9

= 3 cups

Cream = 3 cups

Chocolate = ratio of chocolate/total ratio of total cups

= 2/3 of 9
