Question

Paul's favorite recipe for barbecue sauce calls for 2⅓ cups of tomato sauce. The recipe serves seven people. How much tomato sauce is needed for one serving?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/3 tomato sauce is needed for 1 serving.

Step-by-step explanation: To find 1 serving's worth of tomato sauce, we need to divide 2 1/3 by 7 because the original recipe serves 7 people and 1 serving will serve 1 person. 2 1/3 divided by 7 is 1/3, which is the answer.
