A casserole recipes calls for 4 ounces of cheese. Emerson wants to use half of the amount of cheese in his casseroles. How many pounds of cheese will he need to make 28 casseroles with his revised recipe?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step

4 oz = 1/4 pound.

1 casserole requires 1/4 pound

28 casseroles require x

1/28 = 1/4 // x        For ease change 1/4 to a decimal

1/28 = 0.25 / x      Cross multiply

1*x = 28 * 0.25

x = 7

We need 7 pounds of cheese to make 28 dishes.
