The cups needed to feed 24 people is 13[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups.
Ratio expresses the relationship between two values. It is used to express the number of times that one value is contained within other value(s).
The cups of flour needed to feed one person = [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ 8
= [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{16}[/tex]
Number of cups needed to feed 24 people = number of cups needed to feed 24 people x 24.
[tex]\frac{9}{16}[/tex] x 24 = [tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex] = 13[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups
