Answer:

6 eggs for a 15 person cake.

Explanation:

The cake recipe for 5 people requires 2 eggs.

You are solving for the amount of eggs for 15 people.

Divide 15 with 5: 15/5 = 3

The prompt multiplied 3 to the people to get the required amount. Do the same with the eggs:

2 x 3 = 6

6 eggs is needed.

(5 people)/(2 eggs) * (3)/(3) = (15 people)/( 6 eggs)
