Answer:

2.5 cups

Explanation:


(2)/(12) =(x)/(15) (x is the amount of cups of zucchini you will need to feed 15 people)

This proportion is showing that 2 cups of zucchini can feed 12 people, and we will use it to find how much zucchini we will need to feed 15 people.

Cross multiply

30 = 12x

divide both sides by 12 to isolate x


(30)/(12) = x

2.5 = x

That is your answer
