Answer:
<u>30 people </u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is as following:
Here are the ingredients for pineapple sherbet for 6 people
800g pineapple 4 egg whites 1/2 lemon 100g caster sugar
Dan makes pineapple sherbet he uses 2 1/2 lemons
work out how many people he makes pineapple sherbet for?
=======================================================
1/2 lemon needed for pineapple sherbet for 6 people
2 1/2 lemons needed for pineapple sherbet for <u>x</u> people
1/2 : 6 = 2 1/2 : x
∴ x = ( 6 * 2 1/2 ) ÷ (1/2)
x = 6 * 5/2 * 2 = 30 people
<u>So, he make the pineapple sherbet for 30 people </u>
The correct answer would be <u><em>B. 2 - 1/3</em></u>
First we need the equivalence between cups and pints to solve this question, the equivalence is:
1 cup is 0.5 pint
So we can use a rule of three simple, direct proportion to solve the problem, we change the fraction 1/4 = 0.25 to ease calculations:
1 cup ----> 0.5 pint
0.25 cup ---> x
x = (0.25)(0.5)/1
x = 0.125
Therefore 1/4 cups is equivalent to 0.125 pints
