Question

salma's soups uses this recipe for their. 9 cups of water and 11 cups of vegetables for every 10 containers of vegetables soup.which equation shows the cups of vegetables, V, in containers of soup, S?

Answer 1

Let "S" represent a container of soup, and "V" represent a cup of vegetables

If for every 10 containers of soup there are 11 cups of vegetables, you can say that:

`10S=11V`

To determine how many vegetables are in one container of soup, you have to divide both sides of the expression by 10 so that the multiplication on the term "S" gets canceled:

`\begin{gathered} (10S)/(10)=(11V)/(10) \\ S=(11)/(10)V \end{gathered}`

This expression indicates that for every S container of soup there are 11/10 cups of vegetables
