Answer: 9 green peppers and 3 red peppers

Step-by-step explanation:

Lupe makes 12 servings:

She uses 12 green peppers and 4 red peppers.

If you want to know the number of each pepper that she needs for servings, you must divide the number of peppers by the number of servings:

green : 12/12 = 1

She needs one green pepper for serving:

red: 4/12 = 1/3

She needs one third of a red pepper for serving, so for 9 servings she needs:

9*1 = 9 green peppers

9 * (1/3) = 9/3 = 3 red peppers
