Question

Prahar wants to bake homemade apple pies for the school bake sale. The recipe for the filling of a homemade apple pie that serves 8 consists of the following:
three fourths cup sugar
three fifths teaspoon cinnamon
one eighth teaspoon ground nutmeg
one fourth teaspoon salt

Prahar would like to serve 22 people. Choose one of the ingredients from the recipe and determine the amount he would need for a serving of this size. Set up the proportion and show all necessary work using fractions or decimals.

Answer 1

Answer:

22 people * (3/4 cup sugar / 8 people) = 6.75 cups sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

22 people * (3/4 cup sugar / 8 people) = 6.75 cups sugar, the answer is this because  3/4 cup is the same as 6/8 so you multiply the two whole numbers which is 22 * 6 which is 132 then you divide that by 8 which is the number of people the recipe serves which is equal to 16.5 or 6.75
