Question

Rosa is using a recipe that serves eight and uses one and one quarter cups of sour cream. Choose the amount of sour cream she will use if she wants to make six servings. (2 points)

Answer 1

To make six servings, Rosa will use approximately 0.9375 cups of sour cream.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of sour cream Rosa will use if she wants to make six servings, we can set up a proportion. Since the original recipe serves eight and uses 1 and 1/4 cups of sour cream, we can set up the proportion:

8 servings / 1 and 1/4 cups = 6 servings / x cups

Next, cross multiply and solve for x:

8 * x = 6 * 1 and 1/4

8x = 7.5

x = 7.5 / 8

x = 0.9375

Therefore, Rosa will use approximately 0.9375 cups of sour cream if she wants to make six servings.
