Question

2. A recipe says that 6 spring rolls will serve 3 people. Complete the table as you answer the questions. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
a. How many people will 1 spring roll serve?

b. How many people will 10 spring rolls serve? 16 spring rolls? 25 spring rolls

C. How many people will n spring rolls serve?​

Answer 1

Answers:

a. 0.5 people

b. 10 spring rolls will serve 5 people, 16 spring rolls will serve  8 people, 25 spring rolls will serve 12.5 people

c. n/2 or 1/2 of n

Step-by-step explanation:

if 6=3p, p representing each person, then we find that 2 spring rolls serve 1 person, so 1 spring roll serves 0.5 people!

if 1=0.5p, then p is 1/2 of the amount of spring rolls.

Divide each of the amount of spring rolls by 2.

10=5p

16=8p

25=12.5p

n=n/2

The variable p is important, as to show that it's the amount of people.

Hope this helps!
