Question

Juli uses 12 ounces of cheese in her potato soup recipe. Her recipe yields 8 servings. If Juli needs enough for 20 servings, how many pounds of cheese will she need?

Answer 1

Answer:

30 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to make the proportion ounces to servings.

Then you put 12 for ounces and 8 for servings.

After you put an equal sign and after the equal sign you put for ounces an x and for servings 1.

Then you put 8x=12.

after you divide 8x by 8 to get x and 12 by 8 to get 1.5.

Lastly you do 1.5 times 20 to get 30.
