A recipe that makes 8 servings requires 3 1/2 cups of milk. Which of the following equations can be used to find the number of servings, x, that can be made using 14 cups of milk, based on the recipe?
1) 3 1/2 / 8 = x/14
2) 8/ 3 1/2= x/14
3) 3 1/2 / 14=x/8
4) 14/8= x/ 3 1/2
PLEASE


Sagot :

8 servings require 3 1/2 cups of milk
x servings require 14 cups of milk

When the number of servings increases, the number of required cups of milk also increases. The ratio of servings to cups of milk is constant, so:
[tex]\frac{8}{3 \frac{1}{2}}=\frac{x}{14}[/tex]

The answer is 2).
