Arecipe requires 1/4 lb of onions to make 3 servings of soup. mark has 1 1/2 lb of onions. how many servings can mark make?

⓵ You have to do a cross product in order to find your answer :

1/4 lb → 3 servings
1 ½ lb → × servings

(3 x 1 ½) ÷ 1/4 = (3 x 1,5) ÷ 0,25

⓶ Now you need to solve the equation :

(3 x 1,5) ÷ 0,25

↓

(4,5) ÷ 0,25

↓

4,5 ÷ 0,25 = 18

Which means that your final answer is that Mark can make 18 servings with 1 ½ lb of onions!

I hope this helped! ☻
