Question

In the recipe,3/4 cup of white sugar makes 8 slices of pie .if you want 48 slices of pie, how much white sugar do you need

Answer 1

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

3/4 cup for 8 slices of pie

x cup for 48 slices of pie

_______________________

x = ((3/4)*48)/8

x = (3*48)/(4*8)

x = 144/32

x = 4,5

You need  4 1/2 cups of white sugar for 48 slices of pie.

Hope this helps!
