Question

A recipe requires 1/4 lb of onions to make 3 servingsof soup. Mark has 1 1/2 lb of onions. How many servings can mark make?

Answer 1

16 servings of soup. 1/4 times 4 equals 1 pound and 1/4 times 2 equals 1/2 a pound so it equals 1 1/2.

Answer 2

Hello,

We know that if you have 1/4 Ib of onions, that will make 3 servings. If we make a unit rate table, you'll end up with 18 servings when you have 1 1/2 Ibs of onions.

He would be able to make 18 servings. Hope this helps.

May.
