If 2 cups of zucchini for a recipe feeds 12 people, then to feed 15 people, one will need 2.5 cups of zucchini with the same recipe.
Number of cups of zucchini to feed 15 people with the same recipe?
Let y represent the number of cups of zucchini to feed 15 people.
Such that;
2 cups feeds 12 people
y cups feeds 15 people
We cross multiply
2 × 15 = y × 12
y × 12 = 30
y = 30 / 12
y = 2.5 cups
Therefore, If 2 cups of zucchini for a recipe feeds 12 people, then to feed 15 people, one will need 2.5 cups of zucchini with the same recipe.
