I wanna say B

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!!

4. zepdrix

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

5. anonymous

Yes is Incorrect

6. anonymous

Well um i just started this today

7. anonymous

I wanna say B

8. zepdrix

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?

9. anonymous

Yes but i think i can catch on XD

brb

back

12. zepdrix

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.

So were simplfying

14. zepdrix

Ya :d

15. anonymous

Oh okay

16. zepdrix

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

17. anonymous

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

18. anonymous

I cant do this

19. anonymous

I wanna say B or D

20. zepdrix

$\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

i cant ;-;
