Answer 2

Answer:

$15\ servings\ are\ make \frac{3}{4}\ cup\ servings\ of\ beans\ are\ in\ 11 \frac{1}{4}\ cups\ of\ beans$

Option (C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

$\frac{3}{4}\ cup\ servings\ of\ beans\ are\ in\ 11 \frac{1}{4}\ cups\ of\ beans.$

i.e

$\frac{3}{4}\ cup\ servings\ of\ beans\ are\ in\ \frac{45}{4}\ cups\ of\ beans.$

Than the equation becomes

$\frac{3\times x}{4} = \frac{45}{4}$

$x = \frac{45\times 4}{4\times 3}$

$x = \frac{45}{3}$

x = 15

$Therefore\ 15\ servings\ are\ make \frac{3}{4}\ cup\ servings\ of\ beans\ are\ in\ 11 \frac{1}{4}\ cups\ of\ beans$

Option (C) is correct.
