Answer: 6 ounces</h3>
========================================================
Work Shown:
(6 servings)/(4 oz of sauce) = (8 servings)/(x oz of sauce)
6/4 = 8/x
6*x = 4*8
6x = 32
x = 32/6
x = 5.333 approximately
x = 6 we round up despite 5.333 being closer to 5, than it is to 6.
If we went with 5 ounces, then we wouldn't clear the hurdle needed to serve 8 people.
The section below goes over why this is the case in more detail.
---------
6 servings : 4 ounces
6/4 servings : 4/4 ounces
1.5 servings : 1 ounce
So one ounce of sauce gets us 1.5 servings.
If we multiply both sides by 5, then,
1.5 servings : 1 ounce
5*1.5 servings : 5*1 ounce
7.5 servings : 5 ounces
This shows that 5 ounces of sauce will only produce 7.5 servings, which comes up short compared to 8 servings.
If we multiplied both sides by 6, then
1.5 servings : 1 ounce
6*1.5 servings : 6*1 ounce
9 servings : 6 ounces
This shows that 6 ounces of sauce yields 9 servings. We've gone overboard, but it's better to do that than come up short.
