Answer:

19.5 ounces of spices

Step-by-step explanation:

Raheem made 14 ounces of curry sauce which contained (among other things), 3.25 ounces of spices. He wants to make a larger batch for a family dinner and decides he will need a total of 84 ounces of sauce altogether. How many ounces of spices will he need to complete his recipe?

The question above is calculated as:

14 ounces of sauce = 3.25 ounces of spices

84 ounces of sauce = x ounces of spices

Cross Multiply

14x = 84 × 3.25

x = 84 × 3.25/14

x = 19.5 ounces of spices

Hence, for 84 ounces of curry sauce he would need 19.5 ounces of spices
