How much of each ingredient will Mrs. Roberts need in order to make 200 servings? Show or explain all of the steps you used to answer the question. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Add up all thr ingredients
2 1/2 + 4 1/2 = 7
and
2 1/4 + 3/4 = 3
and
7 + 3 = 10 cups total
--------------------------
1 serving is 3/4 cup
200 servings is 600/4 cups
---------------------------
( 600/4 ) / 10 = 600/40
600/40 = 15
15 batches of the recipe are needed
