you are trying to make the best applesauce in the world. The recipe calls for 8 apples for 2 servings, 16 crackers for 3 servings, and so on. How many apples for 5 servings?
To find the number of apples needed for 5 servings, we can set up a ratio based on the given information.
If 8 apples are needed for 2 servings, then the ratio of apples to servings is 8/2 = 4 apples per serving.
So, for 5 servings, we would need 5 x 4 = <<5*4=20>>20 apples.
To determine the amount of apples needed for 5 servings, we need to find the pattern between the number of servings and the number of apples required.
From the given information, we see that the ratio of apples to servings is 8:2 or 8/2. Simplifying this ratio gives us 4/1.
So, to find the number of apples for 5 servings, we can set up the following proportion:
8 apples / 2 servings = x apples / 5 servings
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2 * x = 8 * 5
2x = 40
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 20
Therefore, you would need 20 apples for 5 servings of applesauce.
To find out how many apples are needed for 5 servings, we need to determine the ratio of apples to servings and then apply it to the desired number of servings.
In this case, the ratio of apples to servings is 8 apples for 2 servings. To calculate the ratio, we divide the number of apples (8) by the number of servings (2):
8 apples / 2 servings = 4 apples/serving
Now we can use this ratio to find out the number of apples needed for 5 servings. We multiply the number of servings (5) by the ratio (4 apples/serving):
5 servings * 4 apples/serving = 20 apples
Therefore, you would need 20 apples for 5 servings of the applesauce.
