Answer:

3 teaspoons.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to do this by figuring out how many teaspoons of molasses is need to serve 2 and then multiply that number by 3. because 3 x 2 = 6.

10 divided by 5 is 2. 5 divided by 5 equals 1. This means that to feed 2 people you need 1 teaspoon of molasses.

1 tsp + 1 tsp + 1 tsp = 3 tsp.

This means that I need 3 tsp of molasses to feed 6 people.

$\bf \cfrac{n^2+3n+2}{n^2+6n+8}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{n^2+3n+21}{(n+4)(n+2)}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}
\\\\\\
\textit{so our LCD will just be (n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(n+2)(2n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(2n^2+4n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~2n^2-4n}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\implies 
\cfrac{-n^2-n+2}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-(n^2+n-2)}{(n+4)(n+2)}\implies \cfrac{-\underline{(n+2)}(n-1)}{(n+4)\underline{(n+2)}}\implies \cfrac{-(n-1)}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{1+n}{n+4}$

After every month's withdrawals, 4/5 of the original amount at the start of the month will remain. The amount at the start of every month will change. Thus:
