Question

You are baking a casserole. The recipe calls for 1/3 of a cup of beans tomake 4 servings. How many cups of beans would you need to make 28servings?

Answer 1

According to the problem, a 1/3 cup of beans is equivalent to 4 servings. To know the number of cups of beans for 28 servings, we just have to use the rule of three.

`x=28\cdot((1)/(3))/(4)=28\cdot(1)/(12)=(7)/(3)=2(1)/(3)`

Hence, we need 2 1/3 cups of beans for 28 servings.
