Question

A chef uses 12 cup of cheese for a small pizza. There are 6 grams of fat in 14 cup of cheese. Drag one expression next to each question. The correct expression for each row is a way to answer that question.

Answer 1

I guess that we want to find how many grams of fat we have in a small pizza.

In a small pizza, we use 12 cups of cheese.

in 14 cups of cheese, we have 6 grams of fat.

Then, in 12 cups of cheese, we have x grams of fat.

We want to find the value of x.

We know that the ratio between the number of cups must be the same as the ratio between the grams of fat then:

12cups/14cups = x/6grams

x = (12/14)*6grams = 5.14 grams

Then in the 12 cups of cheese, we have 5.14 grams of fat.
