cups of carrot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up proportional equation.

6 people need 2 cups of carrots

Let 16 people need x cups of carrots.

6:2

16:x

So, proportional equation would be

Cross multiply

32=6 x

Divide both sides by 6.

x=

Divide to get mixed number

x=5

Simplify the fraction

x= cups of carrot.
