2(4) =8
.75(4)=3
1(4)=4
2(4)=8

Answer 2

we know that

the basic recipe for split pea soup serves
`8` people

so

by proportion

Find the amount of ingredients needed to serve
`32` people

`(1)/(8) (recipe)/(people)=(x)/(32) (recipe)/(people)\\\\8*x=32\\\\x=32/8\\\\x=4\ recipes`

Mutiply the ingredients by
`4`

dried split peas;
`(4)*2(1)/(4)\ c=9\ c`

water;
`(4)*2qt=8qt`

chopped onion;
`(4)*(3)/(4)c=3c`

chopped celery;
`(4)*1c=4c`

ham shank
`(4)*2lb=8lb`
