Complete question;

Andy, who loves to cook, makes apple cobbler for his family. The recipe (serves 6) calls for 4 3/4 pounds of apples, 5 1/4 cups of flour, 1/6 cup of margarine, 2 7/8 cups of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Since guests are coming, Andy wants to make a cobbler that will serve 15 (or increase the recipe 2 1/2 times). How much of each ingredient should Andy use?

Answer:

To serve 15, number of ingredients Andy should use =

Apples = 11 7/8 pounds

Flour = 13 1/8 cups

Margarine = 5/12 cups

Sugar = 7 3/16 cups

Cinnamon = 5 teaspoons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe (serves 6) calls for 4 3/4 pounds of apples, 5 1/4 cups of flour, 1/6 cup of margarine, 2 7/8 cups of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Since guests are coming, Andy wants to make a cobbler that will serve 15 (or increase the recipe 2 1/2 times). How much of each ingredient should Andy use?

For Apples

Serving for 6 = 4 3/4 pounds of apples

Serving for 15 =

= 15 × 4 3/4 pounds/6

= 11 7/8 pounds of apples

For flour

6 servings = 5 1/4 cups of flour,

15 servings =

15 × 5 1/4 cups/6

= 13 1/8 cups of flour

For Margarine

6 servings = 1/6 cups of margarine

15 servings =

= 15 × 1/6 cups/6

= 5/12 cups of margarine

For Sugar

6 servings = 2 7/8 cups of sugar

15 servings =

15 × 2 7/8 cups/6

= 7 3/16 cups of sugar

For Cinnamon

6 servings = 2 teaspoons of cinnamon

15 servings =

15 × 2/6

= 5 teaspoons

Therefore, to serve 15, number of ingredients Andy should use =

Apples = 11 7/8 pounds

Flour = 13 1/8 cups

Margarine = 5/12 cups

Sugar = 7 3/16 cups

Cinnamon = 5 teaspoons.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

well

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times 15 is 45

then 3 times negative x is -3x

so 45 - 3x = 2x

3 x moved to the other side turns positive

so you have

5x = 45

45÷5

x = 9
