In a certain recipe that produces enough for 8 servings, 1/2 cup of sugar is required. If you were asked to expand this recipe so that it could serve 26 people, how much sugar would be required?
For making a serving for 8 people, the amount of sugar required = 1/2 cup Then The amount of sugar required for making a serving for 26 people = [ (1/2)/8] * 26 =(1/16) * 26 cups = 13/8 cups = 1 5/8 cups = 1.625 cups. So for making a receipe for 26 people the amount of sugar required is 1 5/8 cups or 1.625 cups. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this method for solving similar problems without requiring any help from outside.
