Question

Maggie uses 4 1/2scoops drink mix to make 15 cups of drinks.How much mix does it take to make one drink

Answer 1

Answer:

0.3 or 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's convert 4 1/2 to a decimal. 4 1/2 = 4.5

Let's also write it as a ratio.

4.5: 15

Now, let's form the proportion and unit.

4.5: 15

x: 1

We're going to use the cross method...

4.5 x 1 = 4.5

Now, divide that answer by 15.

4.5 ÷ 15 = 0.3

Therefore, 0.3 is the correct answer.
