David is making rice for his guests based on a recipe that requires rice, water, and a special blend of spice,
where the rice-to-spice ratio is 15 : 1. He currently has 40 grams of the spice blend, and he can go buy
more if necessary. He wants to make 10 servings, where each serving has 75 grams of rice. Overall, David
spends 4.50 dollars on rice.
How many servings can David make with the current amount of spice he has?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 servings of rice

Step-by-step explanation:

8 servings of rice

the rice-to-spice ratio is 15:1 so 75 grams is 5 times more making it 75:5 each serving. 5 grams of spice is in each serving so divide 40 grams (which is the amount of spice he has) with the 5 grams of spice each serving. After you’ve done that, you’ll see you got 8 as your number, saying that it will take 8 servings of rice to finish the grams of spice.


Hope this helped!
