Question

kabir is making a blue cheese dip he found a recipe that calls for 1.5 cup of blue cheese and it serves for 5 people. if he wants to have enough dip for 20 people how many cups of blue cheese does kabir need.

Answer 1

6 cups!

Explanation:

1.5/5 = x/20

Take 20 and multiply it by both sides

(1.5/5) * 20 = 6

OR

1.5/5 = 0.3 (Meaning 0.3 cups feeds one person)

Multiply 0.3 cups * 20 to get the amount of cups needed for 20 people

0.3 * 20 = 6 cups
