Lily is making a snack mix for her friends .the recipe shows the amount of each ingredient needed to make 8 bags. if lily follows the recipe, which statement is true? * 2 cups of pretzels• 1 cup of raisins• 2.5 cups of crackers• 0.25 cup of cranberries• 0.5 cup of pecansa. the ratio of pretzels to cranberries is 1 to 8.b. for 16 bags of snack mix, she will need 1 cup of pecans. c. for 24 bags of snack mix, she will need 5 cups of crackers. d. for 16 bags of snack mix, she will need 1.5 cups of raisins.

Okay, let's explain each option to better understand it.
A. The ratio is 2:0.25. When we multiply both sides by 4, we find the ratio 8:1. Option A is not the answer
B. To make 8 bags, she needs 0.5 cups of pecans. Knowing that 16/8 = 2, 0.5*2 = 1. Option B is correct.
C. She requires 2.5 cups of crackers for 8 bags. Knowing that 24/8 = 3, 2.5*3 = 7.5. Thus, Option C is not the answer.
D. She needs one cup of raisins to make 8 bags. She needs 2 cups to make 16 bags, not 1.5.
We can safely say that Option B is correct
