B. Statement B is false

C.

D.

`\text{Unit rate of soup mix}=\frac{7qt\text{ broth }}{2lb\text{ barley}}=\frac{(7)/(2)\text{qt broth}}{(2)/(2)lb\text{ barley}}=\frac{3.5\text{ qt broth}}{1\text{ lb barley }}`

From our unit rate, let's go ahead and determine how many quarts of broth the cook mix with 5 pounds of barley;
