Question

Arlen has a recipe for lasagna that serves 8 people and uses 2 teaspoons of garlic. How many teaspoons of garlic will be used to make a lasagna that serves 4 people?

A 1 teaspoon
B 2 teaspoon
C 3 teaspoon
D 4 teaspoon

Please help kinda lost thank you

Answer 1

Your answer is A) 1 teaspoon.

The ratio for this problem is 8, 2, where 8 is the people, and 2 is the teaspoons. 4 people is half of 8 when you divide 8/4 so you have to do the same with the other part of the ratio. when you split 2 in half, you get 1 teaspoon as your answer

Hope this helps :)
