The opportunity cost of producing one bushel of coffee in Brazil is the amount of hot dogs that could have been produced with the resources used to produce that bushel of coffee. Since a Brazilian worker can produce 20 bushels of hot dogs or 10 bushels of coffee, the opportunity cost of 1 bushel of coffee is 20/10 = 2 bushels of hot dogs.
