Given : Suppose you're making a soup that uses 5 cups of chicken broth and $\frac{3}{4}$ teaspoons of corn starch for 8 servings. You need to make 12 servings of the soup, so you'll need $1\frac{1}{8}$ teaspoons of corn starch.

To find : How much broth do you need?

Solution :

A soup that uses 5 cups of chicken broth and $\frac{3}{4}$ teaspoons of corn starch for 8 servings.

i.e. 5 cups + $\frac{3}{4}$ teaspoon = 8 servings ......(1)

You need to make 12 servings of the soup, so you'll need $1\frac{1}{8}=\frac{9}{8}$

i.e. x cups + $\frac{9}{8}$ teaspoon = 12 servings ........(2)

So, First we find the ratio

Ratio is $\frac{12}{8}=\frac{3}{2}$

So to equal the ratio multiply (1) by $\frac{3}{2}$

$5\times \frac{3}{2}$ cups + $\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{2}$ teaspoon = $8\times \frac{3}{2}$ servings

$\frac{15}{2}$ cups + $\frac{9}{8}$ teaspoon = 12 servings

On comparing with (2),

The value of x is $\frac{15}{2}$ .

Therefore, The broth do we need is $\frac{15}{2}=7.5$ cups.

So, Option A is correct.

What is the cot in simplest fraction form????<br> Please help been stuck for 30 minutes!!

Fantom [35]

Answer:

65/72

Step-by-step explanation:

cot is simply cosine over sine or the tangant flipped

the cos (c)=65/97

sin (c) = 72/97

cot would be (65/97)/(72/97)

How do you divide fractions? By multiplying the reciprocal!

cot would be 65/97 * 97/72

the 97s cross out.

65/72
