Question

Nicole is making tuna salad for her office colleagues. It takes 2/5 of a pound of canned tuna to make 5 portions of salad. She uses 6/5 pounds of canned tuna for every 2 onions used.

If Nicole uses a total of 4 onions, then how many portions of salad does she make?
A.
30 portions
B.
25 portions
C.
35 portions
D.
15 portions

Answer 1

She makes 30 portions.

Explanation:

To find, you would multiply the amount of tuna you need by the number of onions nicole used.

6/5x2 = 12/5

12/5 ÷ 2/5 = 6

6x5 = 30

She makes 30 portions.
