Question

Please help

Answer 1

I wanna say B

Answer 2

Hmm, well it's certainly not A, right? :)
We're going from 8 to 10 people.. the recipe shouldn't jump from just under 1 cup to over 4 cups!!

Answer 3

How do you usually solve these types of problems?
Set up a proportion I guess? :o

Answer 4

Yes is Incorrect

Answer 5

Well um i just started this today

Answer 6

I wanna say B

Answer 7

The ratio of `3/5 of a cup` per `8 people` should stay preserved.
\[\large\rm \frac{3/5}{8}=\frac{x}{10}\]So 3/5 per 8 people is equivalent to some amount per 10 people.
We could cross multiply I guess. Or simply multiply by 10.
Is this method too confusing?

Answer 8

Yes but i think i can catch on XD

Answer 9

brb

Answer 10

back

Answer 11

If I multiply both sides by 10,\[\large\rm 10\cdot\frac{3/5}{8}=\frac{x}{\cancel{10}}\cdot\cancel{10}\]Another way we can write this,\[\large\rm \frac{10}{8}\cdot\frac{3}{5}=x\]I applied some tricky fraction rules D:
Lemme know if that was too confusing.
So the amount you want is the simplified version of that.

Answer 12

So were simplfying

Answer 13

Ya :d

Answer 14

Oh okay

Answer 15

So simplify :D Do it. Go. Do it. XD

Answer 16

Okay wait a sec im really bad at this >><

Answer 17

I cant do this

Answer 18

I wanna say B or D

Answer 19

\[\large\rm \frac{10}{8}\cdot\frac{3}{5}=x\]\[\large\rm \frac{10\cdot3}{8\cdot5}=x\]\[\large\rm \frac{30}{40}=x\]And simplify further :O

Answer 20

i cant ;-;
