Your recipe for risotto cakes calls for 1 cup of risotto per 3 servings. If 1 cup of risotto weighs 6/4 ounces, how many pounds of risotto would you need to use for 555 servings?

Respuesta :

Answer:  [tex]2\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ ounces}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Your recipe for risotto cakes calls for 1 cup of risotto per 3 servings.

The weight of 1 cup of risotto = [tex]\dfrac{6}{4}\text{ ounces}[/tex]

Then, the weight of risotto require for 3 servings =  [tex]\dfrac{6}{4}\text{ ounces}[/tex]

Using unitary method, the weight of risotto require for 3 servings =  

[tex]\dfrac{6}{4\times3}=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ ounces}[/tex]

Then, the weight of risotto require for 5 servings =  

[tex]5\times\dfrac{1}{2}=2\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ ounces}[/tex]

Hence, the weight of risotto require for 5 servings = [tex]2\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ ounces}[/tex]
