Question

Salma's Soups uses this recipe for their vegetable soup. 9 cups of water and 11 cups of vegetables for every 10 containers of vegetables soup.

Answer 1

For the vegetable soup

we have

9 cups of water

11 cups of vegetables

for every 10 containers of vegetables soup

The equation is

11V =10S

How many cups of vegetables are in 5 containers of soup

11 cups vegetables -10 containers

x cups vegetables - 5 containers

x is the number of cups of vegetables for 5 containers

`x=\frac{5_{}\cdot11}{10}=5.5`

we will need 5.5 cups of vegetables
