A recipe requires ¼ pound of onions to make 3 servings of soup. Mark has 1 ½ pounds
of onions. How many servings can Mark make?
Thats correct 😃😄
OH HECK NAH

To determine how many servings Mark can make, we need to calculate the ratio between the quantity of onions required per serving and the total quantity of onions Mark has.
Given that the recipe requires 1/4 pound of onions for 3 servings of soup, we need to find the number of servings for 1 1/2 pounds of onions.
First, we can convert 1 1/2 pounds to an equivalent fraction in terms of 1/4 pound:
1 1/2 pounds = 3/2 pounds = 6/4 pounds.
So, Mark has 6/4 pounds of onions.
To find out the number of servings Mark can make, we can set up a proportion:
(Quantity of onions required per serving) / (Total quantity of onions) = (Number of servings Mark can make) / (1)
Let's substitute the given values into the proportion:
(1/4) / (6/4) = (Number of servings Mark can make) / 1
We can simplify the left side of the equation:
(1/4) * (4/6) = (Number of servings Mark can make) / 1
1/6 = (Number of servings Mark can make) / 1
Multiply both sides of the equation by 1 to isolate the unknown:
(Number of servings Mark can make) = 1/6
Hence, Mark can make 1/6 of a serving with 1 1/2 pounds of onions.
no thats wrong df
Solve it mathematically.
1 1/ 2 = 1 + 2 / 2 = 2 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 3 / 2 = 2 ∙ 3 / 2 ∙ 2 = 6 / 4
( 6 / 4 ) / ( 1 / 4 ) = 6
6 ∙ 3 = 18 servings
OR
1 / 4 pound / 3 servings = 1 / 12 pound per one serving
1 1/ 2 = 3 / 2
( 3 / 2 ) / ( 1 / 12 ) = 12 ∙ 3 / 2 ∙ 1 = 36 / 2 = 18
