A casserole recipes calls for 4 ounces of cheese. Emerson wants to use half of the amount of cheese in his casseroles. How many pounds of cheese will he need to make 28 casseroles with his revised recipe?

Step-by-step

4 oz = 1/4 pound.

1 casserole requires 1/4 pound

28 casseroles require x

1/28 = 1/4 // x        For ease change 1/4 to a decimal

1/28 = 0.25 / x      Cross multiply

1*x = 28 * 0.25

x = 7

We need 7 pounds of cheese to make 28 dishes.

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.
