Question

Calvin uses 1 2/3 cups of cheese to make 5 tacos. To make 8 tacos, Calvin uses x cups of cheese. If the unit rate remains the same for all tacos, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

x=
`2(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

So we know he uses
`1(2)/(3)` cups to make 5 tacos, we just need to figure out how many cups of cheese goes into 1 taco.

`1(2)/(3)` per 5 tacos.

Three thirds make a whole, and two thirds you got 5.

`(1)/(3)` goes into each taco.
