Question

You have 10 tbsp of onion powder.

You need 2 tbsp to make one serving of spice rub.
How many servings can you make?

Answer 1

we can make 5 servings of spice rub from 10 table spoons of onion powder

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

2 table spoon of onion powder makes one serving of spice rub.

Total table spoons of onion powder available = 10

So Let x represent the number of servings of spice rub we can make from our 10 table spoons of onion powder ;

2 table spoons = 1 servings

10 table spoons = x servings

we cross multiply;

x servings × 2 table spoons = 10 table spoons × 1 servings

x servings = ( 10 table spoons × 1 servings ) / 2 table spoons

x = 10 / 2

x = 5 servings

Therefore, we can make 5 servings of spice rub from 10 table spoons of onion powder
