Question

PLEASE HELP !!

Prahar wants to bake homemade apple pies for the school bake sale. The recipe for the filling of a homemade apple pie that serves 8 consists of the following:

three fourths cup sugar
three fifths teaspoon cinnamon
one eighth teaspoon ground nutmeg
one fourth teaspoon salt

Prahar would like to serve 22 people. Choose one of the ingredients from the recipe and determine the amount he would need for a serving of this size. Set up the proportion and show all necessary work using fractions or decimals.

Answer 1

The original recipe serves 8 people and requires 3/4 cup of sugar. To find the amount of sugar needed for 22 people, we can set up a proportion:

(3/4 cup sugar) / (8 people) = (x cups sugar) / (22 people)

Cross-multiply and solve for x:

3/4 * 22 = 8x
66/4 = 8x
x = 66/32
x = 2.0625 cups

So, Prahar would need approximately 2.0625 cups of sugar for a serving size of 22 people.
