Five cups of rice will server 8 people. Exactly how many cups of rice are needed to server 14 people?

8.75 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a ratio to solve

5 cups         x cups

  =

8 people       14 people

Using cross products

5*14 = 8x

70 = 8x

Divide by 8

70/8 = 8x/8

8.75=x

Step-by-step explanation:

8 people => 5 cups

1 person => 5/8 cups

14 people => 5/8 ×14 = 35/4 cups

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8

step-by-step explanation:

well if you round, things become much more simple. round 5.95 to 6, 4.25 to 4, and 1.05 to 1. now, add 6+4+1 and that would equal 11. so the items together would equal to about $11.
