Question

A recipe that makes 8 servings calls fir 3/5 cup of flour. Jeff modifies the recipe so that it can serve 10 . How many cups of flour does Jeff need

Answer 1

So 3/5=8 servings
x=10 servings
therefor
(3/5)/(8)=x/10 so
find x
multiply both sides by 10
(10(3/5))/8=x
(10(3/5))/8=(30/5)/8=(6)/8=6/8=3/4
he needs 3/4 cup of flower
