Answer 1

Answer:

The problem can be solved in different ways.

Applying a rule of three we have:

6 servings ---------------> 2-quart pot

x ---------------------------> 12-quart pot

Clearing the value of x we have:

x = (\frac{12}{2}) * (6)\\x = 36    

Using ratios can also be solved in two ways:

Way 1:

Service relationship to quart pot:

\frac{6}{2} =\frac{f}{12}    

Clearing f we have:

f = (\frac{6}{2}) * (12)\\f = 36    

Way 2:

Relationship of quart pot to services:

\frac{2}{6}= \frac{12}{f}    

Clearing f we have:

f = (\frac{6}{2}) * (12)\\f = 36    

Answer:

The two methods are correct.
