Question

Help me pls…. If Ella makes cheesy broccoli casseroles. Her recipe calls for 7 cups of broccoli per 2 cups of cheese. How many cups of broccoli are needed for 42 cups of cheese?

Answer 1

147

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by setting up a proportion.

Let the cups of broccoli be x.

Then we can set the proportion as:

7:2=x:42

From this we get:

7*42=2*x

Simplifying we get:

294=2x

Now we can divide both sides by 2:

`(294)/(2) =(2x)/(2)`

The solution is:

x=147
