Question

Talia uses 10 strawberries and 4 oranges to make 8 servings of fruit salad. Drag oranges and strawberries into the box to show how many Talia needs to make 12 servings.

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion.

10/8 and 4/8 = x/12 and y/12

We can divide 10 by 8 and get 1.25 strawberries per serving of fruit salad. Now we can multiply our number by 12 to get the proper amount that she needs.

1.25*12= 15

Now we can divide 4 by 8, which will give us 0.5
Now we can multiply 0.5 by 12 to find how much oranges she needs.

0.5*12= 6

We have how much we need .

6 oranges needed per 12 servings
15 strawberries per 12 servings

Answer 2

10 strawberries and 4 oranges is 8 servings so
5 and 2 is 4 servings
15 strawberries and 6 oranges is 12 servings
