Question

A recipe that serves 10 uses 5 teaspoons of molasses. How many teaspoons are needed to serve 6?

Answer 1

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.
