Question 79611
Hello... 


The solution to the given question is very simple... 


Here it goes.. 


It is given that 342 cups of coffee can be made by 9 lbs of coffee.. 


We are required to find the number of cups of coffee made by 6 lbs. 



==>  9  ---  342 

==>  6  ---   x ? 


Cross Multiplying, we get: 


9x = 6 * 342


==> x = {{{ (6 * 342)/9}}}


==> x = {{{2052/9}}} 


==> x = 228  


Thus, we can prepare 228 cups in lbs of coffee.. 


Hence, the solution.
