The correct answer is 12 cups.
To find out how many cups of broth are needed for 6 cups of rice, we can use a proportion.
Given that the chef uses 2 cups of broth for 13 cup of rice, we can set up the following proportion:
2 cups / 13 cups = x cups / 6 cups
To solve for x, we need to cross multiply:
2 cups * 6 cups = 13 cups * x cups
12 cups = 13 cups * x cups
Now we can solve for x:
x = 12 cups / 13 cups
x ≈ 0.923 cups
Therefore, approximately 0.923 cups (or about 6 cups if rounded to the nearest cup) of broth are needed for 6 cups of rice.
To find out how many cups of broth are needed for 6 cups of rice, we can set up a proportion based on the ratio given.
The ratio is: 2 cups of broth for 13 cups of rice.
Let's set up the proportion:
2 cups of broth / 13 cups of rice = x cups of broth / 6 cups of rice
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply.
13 cups of rice * x cups of broth = 2 cups of broth * 6 cups of rice
13x = 12
Now, if we divide both sides of the equation by 13, we can solve for x:
x = 12 / 13
So, based on the proportion, approximately 0.92 cups of broth are needed for 6 cups of rice.
