Question

the recipe for a loaf cake calls for 4/5 pound of jelly beans in assorted colors. If 25 cakes are needed, how many pounds of jelly beans will be used? ( simplify your answer. Type an integer or a fraction)

Answer 1

1 cake = 4/5 lbs of jelly beans
25 cakes = ??? lbs of jelly beans

I would say : how do you go from 1 cake to 25 cakes: Multiply by 25

so I know that both sides must do the same thing

so I say,
4/5 * 25 = 20 lbs of jelly beans needed

Answer 2

so would i type 20 lbs as the answer
