Answer 9

an apple crisp recipe calls for 20 pounds of apples for 30 servings. how many pounds of apples are needed for 60 servings?

Answer 10

it's 40 I think but idk how to show the work.

Answer 11

you are correct....and just think about it...if you need 20 pounds for 30 servings...for DOUBLE the servings...you would need DOUBLE the pounds of apples...so yes 40

Answer 12

or to show the work

20/30 = x/60

now simplify

2/3 = x/60

what is 2/3 times 60?

60 * 2 = 120....120 / 3 = 40

Answer 13

:) thanks. pia used a scale of 1 inch = 2 feet to construct a scale model of her backyard. a tree in the model has a height of 4 inches. what is the actual height of the tree?

Answer 14

do you know it?

Answer 15

sorry for the late reply, and just in case you didnt figure this one out yet...
if pia makes 1 inch = 2ft
doubling the inches (2 inches) ..would double the feet right? (4ft)
doubling THAT term (2 inches...to 4 inches) would double THAT feet (4 to 8 feet.

so in her scale....4 inches = 8 feet :)
