Answer:
2 1/2 cups
Explanation:
A proportion says the ratio of one thing to another is the same for different amounts. Here, we want cups, so we can use the proportion ...
cups/people = 2/12 = x/15 . . . . . where x is the number we want to find
Multiplying by 15 gives ...
x = 15(2/12) = 5/2 = 2 1/2
You will need 2 1/2 cups of zucchini to feed 15 people with the same recipe.
