Mrs Salge is very particular about her ice cream. Her
ice cream cone recipe is 1 cone, 1 scoop of blue ice
cream and 2 scoops of red ice cream. There is also a
cherry on top!
How many ice cream cones could Mrs Salge make if
she had 10 cones, 12 scoops of blue ice cream, 12
scoops of red ice cream and 10 cherries?

Mrs. Salge can make 6 ice cream cones

Explanation:

Mrs. Salge's recipe:

1 cone

1 scoop blue ice cream

2 scoops red ice cream

1 cherry

Now we will find what the limiting ingredient is:

We know she has:

10 cones.    →    10 ice cream cones

12 scoops blue ice cream.    →    12 ice cream cones

12 scoops red ice cream.    →    6 ice cream cones

10 cherries.    →    10 ice cream cones

The red ice cream is the limiting factor. Mrs. Salge can make 6 ice cream cones.
