Question

Please help me find answer for word problem with explanation

Answer 1

Step 1:

The question is a direct proportion.

If one quantity increases, the other increase also, and if one decreases the other decreases.

Step 2

For a direct proportion, you will divide both quantities.

`\begin{gathered} For\text{ every 3 ch}eese\text{ pizzas, he makes 2 specialty pizzas} \\ For\text{ 1 Che}eze\text{ pizza, he makes }(2)/(3)\text{ specialty pizza} \end{gathered}`

Step 3:

`\begin{gathered} \text{For 12 che}eze\text{ pizzsa} \\ \text{There are }(2)/(3)\text{ }*\text{ 12 specialty pizzas} \\ =\text{ }(24)/(3) \\ =\text{ 8 specialty pizzas} \end{gathered}`

Final answer

8 specialty pizzas
