Question

A recipe that will make three pies calls for 7 cups of flowers find how many pies you can be made with 28 cups of flour

Answer 1

3/7 = x/28....3 pies to 7 cups = x pies to 28 cups
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(7)(x) = (3)(28)
7x = 84
x = 84/7
x = 12.......so 28 cups of flour will make 12 pies
