Answer 1

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{15}$ cup of hot sauce is required by Jenkins for the party.                    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of people in party = 48

9 people requires a serving of  $\frac{1}{5}$  cup of hot sauce.

Ration of number of cups of hot sauce to number of people is:

$\dfrac{\text{Number of cups of hot sauce}}{\text{Number of people}} = \dfrac{\frac{1}{5}}{9}=\dfrac{1}{45}$

Now, we have to find the amount of hot sauce Jenkins need foe the party.

We can calculate it in the following manner:

$\dfrac{\text{Number of cups of hot sauce}}{\text{48}} =\dfrac{1}{45}\\\\\Rightarrow \text{Number of cups of hot sauce} = \dfrac{48}{45} = 1\dfrac{3}{45} = 1\dfrac{1}{15}$

Thus, $1\frac{1}{15}$ cup of hot sauce is required by Jenkins for the party.
