What is a Ratio?
A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.
Given that a recipe calls for 3 cups of pecans for every 5 cups of walnuts. Therefore, the ratio of pecans to walnuts is,
Pecans/ Walnuts = 3 cups / 5 cups
Now, the number of cups of pecans that should be added to 8 cups of walnuts is,
Pecans/ Walnuts = 3 cups / 5 cups
Pecans/ 8 cups = 3 cups / 5 cups
Pecans = (8×3)/5 cups
Pecans = 4.8 cups
Hence, the correct option is C.
