One stack has 6 cups, and its height is 15 cm. The other one has 12 cups, and its height is 23 cm. How many cups are needed for a stack with a height of 50 cm?

Given

Number of stacks = 2

Stack 1 = 6 cups; h1 = 15cm

Stack 2 = 12 cups; h2 = 23cm

Let's first find the average:

With an average of 4/3, to obtain the number of cups needed to obtain a height of 50m, we have:

50 / (4/3)

= 50 * 3/4

= 150/4

= 37.5

From the answer, we can see that the number of cups is not really proportional to the height of the stack, because the average of stack one and stack 2 are different.
