Question 377847: a recipe for rice pudding uses 1/2 cup of rice and serves 6 people. Write the cups of rice per person as a unit rate. How many cups of rice do you need to serve 75 people? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Twice as much rice will serve twice as many people, so
1 cup of rice serves 12 people
(75 people)x(1 cup of rice/12 people) = 6.25
You need 6 1/4 cups of rice
