1. Answer:

   3 cups of mayonnaise will be required for 1 cup of pecan.

   Step-by-step explanation:

   A recipe calls for 112 cups of mayonnaise and 38 cups of pecans.

   By using unitary method,

   ∵ 38 cups of pecans require mayonnaise = 112 cups

   ∴ 1 cup pecans requires mayonnaise = [tex]\frac{112}{38}[/tex] cups

                                                                = 2.95 cups

                                                                ≈ 3 cups

   Therefore, 3 cups of mayonnaise will be required for 1 cup of pecan.
