To find how many ounces of noodles are needed for 16 servings, we can set up a proportion. Since we know that an 8-ounce bag makes 7 servings, we can set up the proportion:
8 ounces / 7 servings = x ounces / 16 servings
Cross multiply to solve for x:
7 * x = 8 * 16
7 * x = 128
Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x:
x = 128 / 7
x ≈ 18.286
Rounding to the nearest ounce, we find that approximately 18 ounces of noodles are needed for 16 servings.
An 8-ounce bag of rice noodles makes 7 servings. At that rate, find how many ounces of noodles are needed for 16 servings, to the nearest ounce.
