The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of rice for every 1 cup of veggies. Now, use the double number line to find the number of cups of rice the restaurant would need for 15 cups of veggies. Solve on paper, then enter your answer on Zearn.
To find the number of cups of rice needed for 15 cups of veggies, we can set up the following double number line:
1 1/2 cups of rice | 1 cup of veggies
------------------------|-----------------------
? cups of rice | 15 cups of veggies
To find the missing number of cups of rice, we can see that we need to multiply the number of cups of veggies by 1 1/2.
15 cups of veggies * 1 1/2 = 15 * 1 1/2 = 15 * 3/2 = 45/2 = 22 1/2
Therefore, the restaurant would need 22 1/2 cups of rice for 15 cups of veggies.
