In his curry chicken​ recipe, Phil uses 2 cups of curry sauce for every 9 people. How many cups of curry sauce will he need to make curry chicken for a dinner party of 53 people question mark

Answer 1

To find out how many cups of curry sauce Phil will need for a dinner party of 53 people, we can set up a proportion:

2 cups / 9 people = x cups / 53 people

Cross multiplying, we get:

9x = 2 * 53
9x = 106
x = 106 / 9
x ≈ 11.78

Therefore, Phil will need approximately 11.78 cups of curry sauce to make curry chicken for a dinner party of 53 people. Since we can't use a fraction of a cup, Phil will need to round up to the nearest whole number.

Thus, Phil will need 12 cups of curry sauce for the dinner party of 53 people.
