Question

A chef is preparing food for a group of 21 people. He uses a recipe that calls for 4 tomatoes

to serve six people. Since the number of tomatoes is directly proportional to the number of
people being served, how many tomatoes would he need to serve this group?
A 4
B5
C 12
D 14

Answer 1

D: 14

Explanation:

since the proportion is already 4:6, so you want to divided it by 2, so it will become 2:3, then multiply it by 7, so thats how i got 14 tomatoes for 21 people
