Answer:

Option A = 7.5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Suppose you're making a soup that uses 5 cups of chicken broth and \frac{3}{4} teaspoons of corn starch for 8 servings. You need to make 12 servings of the soup, so you'll need 1\frac{1}{8} teaspoons of corn starch.

To find : How much broth do you need?

Solution :

A soup that uses 5 cups of chicken broth and \frac{3}{4} teaspoons of corn starch for 8 servings.

i.e. 5 cups + \frac{3}{4} teaspoon = 8 servings  ......(1)

You need to make 12 servings of the soup, so you'll need 1\frac{1}{8}=\frac{9}{8}

i.e. x cups +\frac{9}{8} teaspoon = 12 servings  ........(2)

So, First we find the ratio

Ratio is \frac{12}{8}=\frac{3}{2}

So to equal the ratio multiply (1) by \frac{3}{2}

5\times \frac{3}{2}cups + \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{2} teaspoon = 8\times \frac{3}{2} servings

\frac{15}{2}cups + \frac{9}{8} teaspoon = 12 servings

On comparing with (2),

The value of x is \frac{15}{2}.

Therefore, The broth do we need is \frac{15}{2}=7.5 cups.

So, Option A is correct.
