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
teaspoons of corn starch for 8 servings. You need to make 12 servings of the soup, so you'll need
teaspoons of corn starch.
To find : How much broth do you need?
Solution :
A soup that uses 5 cups of chicken broth and
teaspoons of corn starch for 8 servings.
i.e. 5 cups +
teaspoon = 8 servings ......(1)
You need to make 12 servings of the soup, so you'll need 
i.e. x cups +
teaspoon = 12 servings ........(2)
So, First we find the ratio
Ratio is 
So to equal the ratio multiply (1) by 
cups +
teaspoon =
servings
cups +
teaspoon = 12 servings
On comparing with (2),
The value of x is
.
Therefore, The broth do we need is
cups.
So, Option A is correct.
