You have to find the unit rate, which in this case means the amount of fish you need per serving of soup.

If 16 oz of fish makes 24 servings, then 16/24 oz = 2/3 oz makes 1 serving.

Now multiply both quantities by 10, so that 10 servings require 20/3 oz ≈ 6.67 oz of fish.

A more direct way to do this is to solve for <em>x</em> in the following equation:

(16 oz fish) / (24 servings) = (<em>x</em> oz fish) / (10 servings)

Then (omitting units)

<em>x</em> = 10 • 16 / 24 = 20/3

Answer:

  C)  12y 8m

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of principal P at compound monthly at interest rate r per year is given by ...

  A = P(1 +r/12)^(12t) . . . . after t years

Here, we want to find t, so ...

  A/P = (1 +r/12)^(12t)

  log(A/P) = (12t)·log(1 +r/12)

  t = log(A/P)/(12·log(1 +r/12))

Filling in the given values, we find t to be ...

  t = log(8000/4000)/(12·log(1 +0.055/12)) ≈ 12.6315 ≈ 12 years 7.6 months

It will take about 12 years 8 months to double the money.
