Question

A fruit salad recipe calls for 3 cups of kiwi for every 6cups of pineapple. How many cups of pineapples would you need for 8 cups of kiwi

Answer 1

Explanation:

According to the fruit salad recipe, the ratio of kiwi to pineapple is 3 cups of kiwi for every 6 cups of pineapple.

To determine how many cups of pineapple you would need for 8 cups of fruit salad, we can set up a proportion based on the given ratio:

3 cups of kiwi / 6 cups of pineapple = 8 cups of kiwi / x cups of pineapple

To solve for x (the number of cups of pineapple), we cross-multiply and solve for x:

3 * x = 6 * 8

3x = 48

x = 48 / 3

x = 16

Therefore, you would need 16 cups of pineapple for 8 cups of fruit salad.
