Answer:
12 servings
Explanation:
Luke's turkey chili recipe calls for 2.5 pounds of ground turkey for every 5 servings. How many servings can he make if he has 6 pounds of ground turkey?
From above question:
2.5 pounds of ground turkey = 5 servings
6 pounds of ground turkey = x
Cross Multiply
2.5 × x = 6 × 5
x = 6 × 5/2.5
x = 12 servings
Hence, 6 pounds of ground turkey can make 12 servings.
Completing the explanation.
The equation is
5x = 2.5y
where:
x = represent how many pounds of ground turkey he has = 6 pounds
y = to represent how many servings he can make
Hence,
5 × 6 = 2.5y
y = 5 × 6/2.5
y = 12 servings
