Question

Please help: A recipe for a pizza that serves 12 people calls for 2 cups of shredded cheese. If each bag of shredded cheese contains 3 cups, what is the minimum

number of bags required to make pizza for 48 people?

Answer 1

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given: A recipe for a pizza that serves 12 people calls for 2 cups of shredded cheese.

12 people = 2 cups of shredded cheese.

Multiply 4 on both sides , we get

48 people = 8 cups of shredded cheese.

So we require 8 cups of shredded cheese to make pizza for 48 people.

Since, each bag of shredded cheese contains 3 cups.

Then minimum number of bags required =
`(8)/(3)=2.67\approx3`

Hence, minimum 3 bags required to make pizza for 48 people.
