Question

Jayson used 0.5 cup of kernels to make

Answer 1

The right answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of kernel used = 0.5

Cups of popcorn made = 16

Ratio of kernel used to popcorn made = 0.5:16

New cups of kernel used = 0.75

Let,

x be the new number of cups of popcorn.

Ratio of kernels to popcorn made = 0.75:x

Using proportion,

Ratio of kernel used to popcorn made :: Ratio of kernel to popcorn

$0.5:16::0.75:x$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$16*0.75=0.5*x\\12=0.5x\\0.5x=12$

Dividing both sides by 0.5

$\frac{0.5x}{0.5}=\frac{12}{0.5}\\x=24$

24 cups of popcorn can be made from 0.75 cups of kernels.

The right answer is Option C.
