Answer 1

75/15= 5
then multiply that by 9
9x5=45
so 45 cups of flour will be needed to serve all the people.
I hope this is correct :)

Answer 2

45 cups

Explanation:

Total number of guests= 75 guests

9 cups of flour are sufficient to server the number of guests= 15 guests

Or

15 guests are served by number of cups of flours= 9 cups

1 guest is served by number of cups of flours =
`(9)/(15)`

75 guests will be served by number of cups of flours=
`(9)/(15)` × 75

The number of cups required for making corn bread recipe for 75 guests = 45 cups.

Hence, the correct answer is 45
