To determine the percentage of soup that is vegetables, we need to find the fraction of vegetables in relation to the total amount of soup.
The total amount of soup is calculated by adding the quantities of all the ingredients:
3 cups of vegetables + 4 cups of broth + 1 cup of chicken + 2 cups of noodles = 10 cups of soup.
To find the fraction of vegetables, we divide the quantity of vegetables by the total amount of soup:
3 cups of vegetables / 10 cups of soup = 0.3
To express this fraction as a percentage, we multiply it by 100:
0.3 * 100 = 30%
Therefore, 30% of the soup is vegetables.
To calculate the percentage of the soup that is vegetables, we need to divide the amount of vegetables by the total amount of soup, and then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
The total amount of soup is calculated by adding the amounts of all the ingredients together: 3 cups of vegetables + 4 cups of broth + 1 cup of chicken + 2 cups of noodles = 10 cups of soup.
Now, we can calculate the percentage of vegetables in the soup.
(3 cups of vegetables / 10 cups of soup) x 100 = 30%
Therefore, the correct answer is 30 percent.
