Jason used 0.5 cups or kernels to make 16 cups of popcorn. How many cups of popcorn would he make if he used 0.75 cups of kernels? Please explain answer

24 cups of popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cups of popcorn that can be made from 0.75 cups of kernels. We know that 0.5 cups of kernels is used to make 16 cups of popcorn. Therefore, to calculate the number of cups of popcorn that can be made from 0.75 cups of kernels we use the equation:

x / 0.75 cups of kernels = 16 cups of popcorn / 0.5 cups of kernels

multiplying through by 0.75 cups of kernels gives:

(x / 0.75 cups of kernels) * 0.75 cups of kernels = (16 cups of popcorn / 0.5 cups of popcorn) * 0.75 cups of kernels

x = 24 cups of popcorn
