b) For 5 cups of mix, number of cups of Peanuts required is 0.5 cups. For 25 cups, 2.5 cups of peanuts are required.

For 5 cups of mix, 0.25 cups of Raisin is required. For 25 cups, 1.25 cups of Raisin is required.

Similarly for making 25 cups of mix, 2.25 cups of M& Ms, 10 cups of Cherries and 7.5 cups of Pretzels are required.

a)

Using 2 cups of peanuts, 4 cups of mix can be made.

Using 0.75 cups of Raisin, 3 cups of mix can be made.

Using 1.75 cups of M&Ms, 2 cups of mix can be made.

Using 10 cups of Cherrios, 5 cups of mix can be made.

Using 6 cups of Pretzels, 4 cups of mix can be made.

Hence maximum number of cups of mix is restricted by number of cups of M&Ms. Hence it is the limiting ingredient.

Number of cups of mix can be made = 2
