Linda makes chocolate truffles.

The recipe for 20 dark chocolate truffles is

1 cup cream

3 cups dark chocolate


1. Explain how to complete the recipe for 60 dark truffles. How much cream and how much dark chocolate would you need?

Answer 1

Set up a proportion and then solve it — use cross multiplication to find x or y;

Cream (x) — 1:20=x:60
20x = 60
x = 60/20 = 3 cups of cream

Dark chocolate (y) — 3:20=y:60
3y = 60 x 3
y = 180/3 = 60 cups of dark chocolate

Answer 2

So basically 3x3 = 6 cups of dark choclate 1x3=3

Explanation:

Because if it takes 1 cup of cream 3 cups of dark choclate just to make 20? 20x3=60 so 3x3=6 cups of dark choclate 1 cup of creamx3 = 3 cups of cream.
