Question

a recipe for a new stew requires 3 cups of carrots with a turned cut the recipe serves 8 people you need to serve 50 people how many cups if carrots should you cut

Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine how many cups of carrots you should cut to serve 50 people instead of the original 8 people, you need to adjust the recipe proportionally.

Original Recipe:

3 cups of carrots for 8 people

To find out how many cups of carrots you need for 50 people, you can set up a proportion:

(3 cups of carrots) / (8 people) = (X cups of carrots) / (50 people)

Now, you can solve for X:

X = (3 cups * 50 people) / 8 people

X = 150 cups / 8 people

X = 18.75 cups

So, you should cut approximately 18.75 cups of carrots to serve 50 people. Since you can't have a fraction of a cup, you may want to round up to ensure you have enough carrots, making it 19 cups.
