Answer 1

Answer: We compare today's soup to the usual recipe by using "Unitary Method".

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The Soup Shack makes tomato soup with 9 tomatoes for every 12 cups of soup.

For every 12 cups of soup , 9 tomatoes is needed

For every 1 cup of soup , the number of tomato is needed is given by

`(9)/(12)=(3)/(4)`

Today, they made 8 cups of soup with 6 tomatoes ,

For 8 cups, 6 tomatoes are used .

For 1 cup, number of tomato is used is given by

`(6)/(8)=(3)/(4)`

So, we can see that both the soup has same quantity .

∴ We compare today's soup to the usual recipe by using "Unitary Method".
