Answer» The problem can be solved in different ways. Applying a rule of three we have: 6 servings ---------------> 2-quart POT x ---------------------------> 12-quart pot Clearing the value of x we have: x = (\frac{12}{2}) * (6)\\x = 36 Using RATIOS can also be solved in two ways: WAY 1: Service relationship to quart pot: \frac{6}{2} =\frac{F}{12} Clearing f we have: f = (\frac{6}{2}) * (12)\\f = 36 Way 2: Relationship of quart pot to services: \frac{2}{6}= \frac{12}{f} Clearing f we have: f = (\frac{6}{2}) * (12)\\f = 36 Answer: The two methods are correct. |
