Answer 1

Answer:

8 servings.

Step-by-step explanation:

David has 40 grams of spice.

The ratio of rice to spice is 15:1.

He says that each serving has 75 grams of rice. So the new ratio is 75:5. (multipy both sides by 5)

Then we need to make the spice side of the ratio into 40. So set up the new ratio... __:40.

Ask yourself, "What times 5 equals 40?"

8. Eight times 5 equals 40.

So with 40 grams of spice, David can make 8 servings.
