To find how many servings John can make we need to write as a relationship, this means that


\begin{gathered} 6c\Rightarrow4s \\ 30c\Rightarrow? \end{gathered}

to find the missing value we need to solve the relationship


\begin{gathered} ?=30c\cdot(4s)/(6c) \\ ?=5\cdot4s \\ ?=20s \end{gathered}

he can make 20 servings with 30 cups of ice cream
