Given :

Heidi uses 5 grams of tea leaves to make 25 fluid ounces of tea.

Last week she made 75 fluid ounces of tea.

To Find :

How many grams of tea leaves did Heidi use to make tea last week.

Let, x gram of leaves are required last week.

So,

$\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{75}{25}\\\\x = 5\times\dfrac{75}{25}\\\\x = 5\times 3\\\\x = 15 \ grams$
