Answer:

18 scoops is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 can also be written as 6/8 (multiply both 3 and 4 by 2)

and 1 1/2 is actually 3/2 which can be written as 12/8 (multiply both 3 and 2 by 4)

thus total lentils required is 6/8 + 12/8 = 18/8 cups.

with scoop size 1/8 cup you'll need 18 scoops .

Answer:

18 1/8 scoops

Step-by-step explanation:

Soup:

6 scoops from a 1/8 cup can make a 3/4 cup

Salad:

4 scoops from a 1/8 cup can make a 1/2 cup

If 1/8 means one portion is divided into eight portions, then 8 scoops from a 1/8 cup can make 1 cup.
