The question here says that Dana is making bean soup the recipe she has makes 10 serving and uses 3/4of a pound of beans. How many total pounds of beans does she need to make 5 serving of soup? She has 1/10 of a beans in one contanier and 1/4 of a pound of beans in another container. How many more pounds of beans does Dana need to make the 5 serving of soup?

If 10 servings of soup makes use of 3/4 pound of beans,5 servings of soup will make use of :

10/5 = 0.75/x

X = (0.75 × 5) ÷ 10

X = 3/8 pounds of beans

I/4 pound of beans is in one container and 1/10 pound of beans is in another container ie

1/10 + 1/4 = 7/20 pound of beans is available to her,but she needs up to 3/8.

The remaining amount of bean is
