A recipe for fruit salad includes 1/3 cup of grapes for 4 servings. How many cups of grapes are needed for 30 servings of this fruit salad?
F. 10c
G.40c
H. 2 1/2 c
J. 7 1/2 c
X/30=(1/3)/4 30/3 = 4X X = 2.5
4 x X = 4X 10 = 4X 2.5 = 2 1/2
1/3 x 30 = 30/3 (10/4) = (4X/4) ANSWER: H
To find out how many cups of grapes are needed for 30 servings of the fruit salad, we need to set up a proportion equation.
We know that the recipe includes 1/3 cup of grapes for 4 servings. Let's represent this as a fraction:
1/3 cup of grapes / 4 servings
To find the number of cups needed for 30 servings, we set up a proportion by comparing the number of servings:
1/3 cup of grapes / 4 servings = x cups of grapes / 30 servings
To solve for x, cross-multiply:
(1/3) * 30 servings = 4 servings * x
10 cups of grapes = 4x
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
10 cups / 4 = x
x = 2.5 cups
Therefore, you will need 2.5 cups of grapes for 30 servings of this fruit salad.
