Suppose you're making a soup that uses 5 cups of chicken broth and 3⁄4 teaspoons of corn starch for 8 servings. you need to make 12 servings of the soup, so you'll need 11⁄8 teaspoons of corn starch. how much broth do you need? a. 7.5 cups b. 8.7 cups c. 2.5 cups d. 10 cups

Option A = 7.5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Suppose you're making a soup that uses 5 cups of chicken broth and teaspoons of corn starch for 8 servings. You need to make 12 servings of the soup, so you'll need teaspoons of corn starch.

To find : How much broth do you need?

Solution :

A soup that uses 5 cups of chicken broth and teaspoons of corn starch for 8 servings.

i.e. 5 cups + teaspoon = 8 servings  ......(1)

You need to make 12 servings of the soup, so you'll need

i.e. x cups + teaspoon = 12 servings  ........(2)

So, First we find the ratio

Ratio is

So to equal the ratio multiply (1) by

cups + teaspoon = servings

cups + teaspoon = 12 servings

On comparing with (2),

The value of x is .

Therefore, The broth do we need is cups.

So, Option A is correct.
