12.5x16=196

Answer 2

Answer: Choice C

196 millilitres of tomato paste for 16 litres of spaghetti sauce.

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We're told that 12 litres of sauce goes with 147 millilitres of paste.

Divide the larger value over the smaller: 147/12 = 12.25 exactly.

Do the same thing to each of the answer choices A through D.

• (A) 94/8 = 11.75
• (B) 108/9 = 12
• (C) 196/16 = 12.25
• (D) 169/14 = 12.071 approximately

Optionally we could represent the results in a table like so

`\begin{array}c \cline{1-4}\text{Choice} & \text{Paste} & \text{Sauce} & \text{Paste/Sauce}\\\cline{1-4}\text{A} & 94 & 8 & 11.75\\\cline{1-4}\text{B} & 108 & 9 & 12\\\cline{1-4}\text{C} & 196 & 16 & 12.25\\\cline{1-4}\text{D} & 169 & 14 & 12.071 \ \text{(approx)}\\\cline{1-4}\end{array}`

Spreadsheet software is handy if you go this route. You don't have to worry about the units in this case.

Choice C is the only option that yields the ratio 12.25, which means it's the only possible answer.
