Question

Julie is 12 ounce of cheese in her potato soup recipe yields 8 servings and Julie needs enough for 20 servings how many pounds of cheese will she need

Answer 1

12oz=
`(8)/(20)` or
`(2)/(5)` of what she needs.
we can now multiply
12oz *
`(5)/(2)`= 30 oz
but we need to know pounds and a pound is 16 oz so 2 pounds should be enough
