Question

Mark's soup recipe makes 6 servings and uses 4 carrots and 2 potatoes.

Drag carrots and potatoes into the box to show how many Mark needs for 15 servings

Answer 1

The answer is 5 potatoes and 10 carrots.

Please enter this into desmos.com/calculator (a virtual graphing calculator that is awesome) and the x-intercept will be your answer.

Simply enter
`(6)/(2)=(15)/(x)` into one equation and
`(6)/(4)=(15)/(x)` into another equation. The x-intercepts are your answers, so
`x` = 5 and
`x` = 10.
