Upper A 6​-ounce bag of rice noodles makes 5 servings. At that​ rate, find how many ounces of noodles are needed for 8 ​servings, to the nearest ounce.

Answer 1

Using proportions, we can set up the following equation:

6 ounces / 5 servings = x ounces / 8 servings

Cross multiplying, we get:

5x = 6 * 8
5x = 48
x = 48 / 5
x = 9.6

Therefore, approximately 10 ounces of noodles are needed for 8 servings to the nearest ounce.
