Question

A recipe for fluffy slime calls for 3 3/4 cups of shaving cream, 1/2 cup of glue, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 1/2 tablespoons of saline solution; this is enough for 2 people. How much shaving cream would you need if you were making enough slime for ten people?

Answer 1

Answer:

75/4 cups (or 18-3/4 cups)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignore all the wording about glue, baking soda and saline.

What this question reduces to is that the recipe for :

2 people ---> requires 3 3/4 cups (or 15/4 cups) of shaving cream

10 people ----> requires 5 times the amount of shaving cream needed for 2 people

Hence shaving cream needed for 10 people

= 5 x 3 3/4 cups

= 5 x 15/4 cups

= 75/4 cups (or 18-3/4 cups)
