Question

A casserole recipe requires 2 1/4 cups of mozzarella cheese to make 6 servings. Larisa has 13 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese in her kitchen. How many servings of the casserole can she make based on the amount of mozzarella cheese she has?

Answer 1

To serve 6 persons recipe requires 2 1/4 cups

To serve x persons recipe requires 13 1/2 cups

So, using the ratio and proportional to find x

so,

x = 6 * 13 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4

so, x = 36

so, the number of servings = 36
