The cook at a local restaurant makes a special raspberry iced tea. He uses 8 small containers of the rasberry tea base to make 2 quarts of iced tea. How many small containers of the tea base will he need to make 12 quarts of the iced tea

Respuesta :

Answer: 48 small containers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of small containers of the tea base that he will need to make 12 quarts of the iced tea be represented by x.

The information given can be formed into an expression as:

8/x = 2/12

Cross multiply

2 × x = 8 × 12

2x = 96

x = 96/2

x = 48

Therefore, 48 small containers will be needed.
