If an 8-ounce bag of rice noodles makes 9 servings, then each serving of rice noodles is equivalent to 8/9 ounces of noodles.
To find how many ounces of noodles are needed for 14 servings, we can set up a proportion:
(8/9) / 9 = x / 14
Cross-multiplying, we get:
9x = (8/9) * 14
9x = 112/9
Dividing both sides by 9, we find:
x = (112/9) * (1/9)
x = 112/81
To the nearest ounce, x is approximately 1.38 ounces.
Therefore, approximately 1.38 ounces of noodles are needed for 14 servings.
An 8-ounce bag of rice noodles makes 9 servings. At that rate, find how many ounces of noodles are needed for 14 servings, to the nearest ounce
