Question

A recipe that serves 6 people requires 210 grams of sugar what is the total amount of sugar needed if the recipe is changed to serve 10 people

Answer 1

350 grams

Explanation:

- 6 people = 120

10 = ?

- this is how like to use ratios

6 : 120

10 : x

- multiply the numbers in a criss-cross fashion

so,

- multiply 120*10 and devide by the number multiplying with the unknown ( 6 in this case )

- (120*10)/6 = 350

Answer 2

The answer is 350 grams of sugar

Explanation:

You use a ratio

`(6)/(10)` =
`(210)/(?)`

Compare the numerators. Since

6 ⋅ 35 =210 , multiply the denominator 10 by 35 to get 350
