You have 20 oz of egg noodles. You need 5 oz to make one serving of chicken noodle soup. How many servings can you make?

You have 18 tablespoons of powder, and you need two tablespoons for one serving. How many servings can you make?

Answer :

With 20oz of egg noodles, you can make 4 servings of chicken noodle soup. With 18 tablespoons of powder and needing 2 tablespoons per serving, you can make 9 servings.

To calculate how many servings can be made from a specific amount of ingredients, you will perform division. In your case, you have two separate scenarios:

  • Servings of chicken noodle soup: You have 20oz of egg noodles and need 5oz per serving of chicken noodle soup. You can make 4 servings since 20 divided by 5 equals 4.
  • Servings using powder: You have 18 tablespoons of powder and need 2 tablespoons per serving. You can make 9 servings since 18 divided by 2 equals 9.

we get that

[tex]\frac{18}{2}=9[/tex]

we can make 9 servings
