Question

Sarah used 2.5 cups of cheese in a dish that serves 10 people. Arun used 1.6 cups of cheese in a dish that serves 8 people. 1 How many cups of cheese are needed for 1 serving of Aruns dish?

Answer 1

Data:

Cheese: c

People: p

Sarah:

c=2.5 cups

p=10

Arun:

c=1.6 cups

p=8

To find the number of cups of cheese that Arun need to a serving you divide the 1.6 cups into 8 (8 servings):

`(1.6)/(8)=0.2`Then, Arun needs 0.2 cups of cheese for 1 serving.
