Answer 1

3 teaspoons of salt is needed to cook the recipe for 8 people.

So, the correct option is d. 3 teaspoons.

Explanation:

Given:

Mike has a recipe that feeds one person that calls for 3/8 teaspoon of salt.

Now, to find the quantity of salt is needed to cook the recipe for 8 people.

As, given the recipe feeds:

`(3)/(8)` teaspoon salt per person.

Now, to get the salt needed to cook the recipe for 8 people we multiply
`(3)/(8)` by 8:

`(3)/(8)* 8`

`=(24)/(8)`

`=3.`

Thus, 3 teaspoons of salt is needed to cook the recipe for 8 people.

So, the correct option is d. 3 teaspoons.
