Answer:
19.5 ounces of spices
Explanation:
Raheem made 14 ounces of curry sauce which contained (among other things), 3.25 ounces of spices. He wants to make a larger batch for a family dinner and decides he will need a total of 84 ounces of sauce altogether. How many ounces of spices will he need to complete his recipe?
The question above is calculated as:
14 ounces of sauce = 3.25 ounces of spices
84 ounces of sauce = x ounces of spices
Cross Multiply
14x = 84 × 3.25
x = 84 × 3.25/14
x = 19.5 ounces of spices
Hence, for 84 ounces of curry sauce he would need 19.5 ounces of spices
