Question

The recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75. How much would it cost to serve 24 people? Use the rate table to solve the proportion.

Answer 1

Well, you have to multiply the 6 by 4 and the 9.75 by 4 because there are going to be 24 people. 6 • 4 is 24 and 9.75 • 4 = 39!

Answer 2

Answer: The required cost of ingredients that would serve the recipe to 24 people is $39.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a recipe makes enough stew for 6 people and the ingredients cost $9.75.

We are to find the cost of the ingredients that would make recipe to serve 24 people.

We are to use the rate table to solve the given problem.

Since the rate of increase of number of people is given by

$\dfrac{24}{6}=4.$

Therefore, we will multiply the cost of ingredients for 6 people by 4.

Therefore, the cost of ingredient that makes the recipe to serve 24 people will be

$=9.75\times 4\\\\=39.$

Thus, the required cost of ingredients that would serve the recipe to 24 people is $39.

Answer 3

In the second ratio, the number of people is the denominator. It should be the numerator to match the first ratio.
