You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given:360 cups of coffee can be made from 10 lbs of coffee
we have to find how many cups of coffee can be made from 6lbs
let 'x ' be the number of cups that can be made from 6 lbs of coffee
therefore x= 6*360 /10 =216
so 216 cups can be made from 6 lbs of coffee
