Question

Your recipe for risotto cakes calls for 1 cup of risotto per 3 servings. If 1 cup of risotto weighs 6/4 ounces, how many pounds of risotto would you need to use for 555 servings?

Answer 1

Answer:
`2(1)/(2)\text{ ounces}`

Explanation:

Given : Your recipe for risotto cakes calls for 1 cup of risotto per 3 servings.

The weight of 1 cup of risotto =
`(6)/(4)\text{ ounces}`

Then, the weight of risotto require for 3 servings =
`(6)/(4)\text{ ounces}`

Using unitary method, the weight of risotto require for 3 servings =

`(6)/(4*3)=(1)/(2)\text{ ounces}`

Then, the weight of risotto require for 5 servings =

`5*(1)/(2)=2(1)/(2)\text{ ounces}`

Hence, the weight of risotto require for 5 servings =
`2(1)/(2)\text{ ounces}`
