Answer:
Cups of carrot needed for 9 servings = 4.5 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
A recipe for sesame chicken calls for cup of chopped carrots
recipe 2 is for 4 servings
That is
2 cups of carrot = 4 servings
2 : 4
= 1 : 2
1 cup of carrot = 2 servings
how many cups of
carrots are needed for 9 servings?
Let x= number of carrot needed for 9 servings
1 : 2 = x : 9
1 /2 = x/ 9
Cross product
1*9 = 2*x
9=2x
Divide both sides by 2
9/2 = x
x= 4.5 Or 4 1/2
