Answer:

1 1/2 3

1 2

5 10

Explanation:

You can use proportions.

1 1/2 is to 3 as 1 is to x

3/2 : 3 = 1 : x

3/2 × x = 3 × 1

x = 3 × 2/3

x = 2

2 tablespoons sugar for 1 cup heavy cream.

1 1/2 is to 3 as 5 is to x

3/2 : 3 = 5 : x

3/2 × x = 3 × 5

x = 15 × 2/3

x = 10

10 tablespoons sugar for 5 cup heavy cream.
