Upper A 9​-ounce bag of rice noodles makes 10 servings. At that​ rate, find how many ounces of noodles are needed for 19 ​servings, to the nearest ounce.

Answer 1

To find out how many ounces of noodles are needed for 19 servings, we can set up a proportion:

9 ounces / 10 servings = x ounces / 19 servings

Cross multiply:
10 * x = 9 * 19
10x = 171
x = 171 / 10
x = 17.1

Therefore, 17.1 ounces of noodles are needed for 19 servings, rounded to the nearest ounce.
