Question

Answer 1

hello

6 spoons of garlic is combined with 15 spoons of salt,

8 spoons of garlic will require x spoons of salt

`\begin{gathered} 6=15 \\ 8=x \\ cross\text{ multiply both sides} \\ 6* x=8*15 \\ 6x=120 \\ \text{divide both sides by 6} \\ (6x)/(6)=(120)/(6) \\ x=20 \end{gathered}`

therefore, 8 teaspoons of garlic will require 20 teaspoons of salt.
