Hi there!
Here's the important information we know:
10 lbs of crawfish → 24 oz of seasoning
a) To answer the question in a, you will need to use the cross product method:
10 lbs of crawfish → 24 oz of seasoning
1 lbs of crawfish → X oz of seasoning
24 ÷ 10 = X oz of seasoning
2.4 = X oz of seasoning
Answer a) : This means that 1 lb of crawfish requires 2.4 oz of seasoning.
b) We now know that for 1 lb of crawfish you need 2.4 oz of seasoning, so in order to know how much seasoning you need for 30 lbs of crawfish, you need to multiply 2.4 by 30 :
2.4 × 30 = 72
Answer b): You would need 72 oz of seasoning for 30 lbs of crawfish.
c) We know that for 1 lb of crawfish you need 2.4 oz of seasoning, so in order to know the maximum number of pounds of crawfish that can be cooked with 36 oz of seasoning, you need to divide 36 by 2.4 :
36 ÷ 2.4 = 15
Answer c): You can cook a maximum of 15 pounds of crawfish with 36 oz of seasoning.
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
