Answer:

1. 4 ounces of pasta per serving.

2. 20 ounces for 5 servings.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ounces of pasta makes 3/4 servings of pasta.

We want to get find out how many ounces of pasta needed to make 1 serving of pasta, in other words 4/4 servings of pasta.

To get 3/4 to 4/4, we need to times it by 4/3, since 3/4 * 4/3 = 12/12 = 4/4 = 1.

So to get the ounces of pasta, we need to times 3 by 4/3.

3 * 4/3 = 3/1 * 4/3 = 12/3 = 4 ounces.

There we see that there are 4 ounces of pasta in a serving.

Now that we know that there are 4 ounces of pasta in a serving, we simply multiply to get the amount of ounces of pasta in 5 servings.

We can say that the amount of pasta is directly proportional to the amount of servings.

Direct proportion is the relationship between two variables when their ratio is equal to a constant value.

If there are 4 ounces of pasta in a serving, the amount of servings is multiplied by 5, and since the amount of pasta is directly proportional to the amount of servings, we multiply the ounces of pasta by 5.

4 * 5 = 20.

Here we see that there are 20 ounces of pasta in 5 servings.

Hope this helps.

There are 143 men. There are 65 education majors. There are 26 men who have an education major. So, the total number of students who meet the criteria (man or education major) = Total number of Men + Total number of Education Majors - Total number of men with education majors = 143 + 65 - 26 = 182.

There are a total of 291 students. So, the probability that the student was a man or education major = 182 / 291 = 0.625.
