The right answer is Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cups of kernel used = 0.5
Cups of popcorn made = 16
Ratio of kernel used to popcorn made = 0.5:16
New cups of kernel used = 0.75
Let,
x be the new number of cups of popcorn.
Ratio of kernels to popcorn made = 0.75:x
Using proportion,
Ratio of kernel used to popcorn made :: Ratio of kernel to popcorn
[tex]0.5:16::0.75:x[/tex]
Product of mean = Product of extreme
[tex]16*0.75=0.5*x\\12=0.5x\\0.5x=12\\[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.5
[tex]\frac{0.5x}{0.5}=\frac{12}{0.5}\\x=24[/tex]
24 cups of popcorn can be made from 0.75 cups of kernels.
The right answer is Option C.
