Question

A deli sells 44 cups of soup for every 60 sandwiches. At this rate,how many cups of soup will be sold for every 15 sandwiches

Answer 1

11 cups of soups will be sold for every 15 sandwiches

Explanation:

all you have to do here is just cross multiply

you have 44 cups of soup every 60 sandwiches : 44/60

the we want to know how many soup will be sold for every 15 sandwiches :

n (representing the number we need to find) /15

44/60 = n/15 (cross multiplying meaning we're going to multiply the sides opposite)

44 x 15 = 660

n x 60 = 60n

660 = 60n

now we have to divide 660 by 60

660/60 = n

11 = n

Answer 2

Answer: 11 cups of soup

Explanation:

Set up a proportion with the given information. Then cross multiply and solve for the unknown value.

`(44\ cups)/(60\ sandwiches)=(x)/(15\ sandwiches)\\\\\\44(15)=60(x)\\\\\\(44(15))/(60)=x\\\\\\11=x`
