Question

Convert a recipe that serves 6 and calls for 3/4 cups of sugar to one that serves 20.

Answer 1

Answer:

5/2cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If a recipe serves 6 and calls for 3/4cups, arecipe that serves 20, will call for (20×3/4)/6 cups. Mathematically;

6recipe = 3/4cups

20recipe = x

Cross multiplying we have;

6x = 20×3/4

6x = 15

x = 15/6

x = 5/2

This means a recipe that serves 20 will call for 5/2cups
