Answer 1

Answer:

  8 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

At the ratio of 15:1, the 75 grams of rice in one serving will require 75/15 = 5 g of spice. David's inventory of 40 g of spice is enough for ...

  40 g/(5 g/serving) = 8 servings

Answer 2

Only 8 servings can be made with the available spice.

Rice to spice ratio = 15 : 1

Number of grams per serving = 75 grams

Grams of spice available = 40 grams

Grams of rice, r required for available spice :

15 grams of rice = 1 gram of spice

r grams of rice = 40 grams of spice

Cross multiply :

r = (40 × 15)

r = 600 grams

The grams of rice which can go with the available spice :

Number of servings = grams of rice / grams per serving

Number of serving = 600 grams / 75 grams

Number of grams per serving = 8

Hence, The number of servings which can be made with the available spice is 8 servings
