Hello @texaschic101! Can you help? :)

Answer 5

12/12 = x/50 (12 vanilla wafers to 12 serv. = x wafers to 50 servings)
cross multiply
12x = (50)(12)
12x = 600
x = 600/12
x = 50

you will need 50 vanilla wafers

2/12 = x/50 (2 packs cream cheese to 12 serv. = x packs to 50 servings)
cross multiply
12x = (50)(2)
12x = 100
x = 100/12
x = 8.33 or 8 1/3 packs

you will need 8.33 packs of cream cheese

you see how I am setting these up ? Do you understand ?
