Chicken Noodle Soup
Yield: 8 servings
• 1 tablespoon butter
• cup diced carrot
• cup diced onion
cup diced celery
• 1 pinch of salt
• teaspoon thyme leaves
• 2 quarts chicken broth
• 4 ounces egg noodles
• 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 pinch black pepper
How many servings could you make if you had 2.5 quarts of broth?
6 servings
O 10 servings
O 16 servings
O 3.2 servings

Answer 1

10 servings

Explanation:

The amount of broth needed for 8 servings is 2 quarts. Adding 0.5 would be adding 25% more servings. 25% of 8 is 2. So we add 8 + 2 to get 10. So, with 2.5 quarts of broth, we can make 10 servings of chicken noodle soup

Answer 2

• B. 10 servings

Explanation:

Let the number of servings is x

Given

• 2 quarts chicken broth ⇔ 8 servings
• 2.5 quarts ⇔ x servings

Build a ratio and solve for x:

• 2/2.5 = 8/x
• x = 2.5*8/2
• x = 10

Correct choice is B
