Answer 2

Hello @Nicole...<3maturn ! and Welcome to OpenStudy!

It seems that you might have copy pasted your question incorrectly and is currently missing some information - (6 servings calls for _?_ cups of butter)

anyways, you can get a much better and faster answer by asking your question in the Mathematics section as Rainbow_Dashie. has wonderfully explained :)

but while I'm here, here is how you can solve your problem ^_^
this is based on equivalent ratios
the ratio of the 6 servings to its cups of butter needed
is equal to the ratio of 8 servings to its cups of butter needed...
so we can get something like
\[\frac{ 6 }{ (given~number~of~cups~of~butter) }=\frac{ 8 }{ (answer) }\]from there you can try to solve for your answer :)
