Question

The recipe made eight servings but I only want to make a note for five people if the recipe for eight servings call for 2 cups of flour how much flour would I need 45 servings

Answer 1

8 / 2 = 45 / x....8 servings to 2 cups = 45 servings to x cups
cross multiply
(8)(x) = (2)(45)
8x = 90
x = 90/8
x = 11 1/4 (or 11.25) cups of flour are needed <==
