A recipe that makes 8 servings calls fir 3/5 cup of flour. Jeff modifies the recipe so that it can serve 10. How many cups of flour does Jeff need

From the information given, 8 servings need 3/5 cups.

We first need to write 3/5 as a decimal fraction→ 3/5 = 0.6

Next, we find out how many cups are required for only one serving.

8 servings = 0.6 cups

1 serving = x (where x is the number of cups enough for one serving)

We simplify the above equation to get:

8 * x = 0.6 * 1 → 8x = 0.6 → x = 0.6 / 8 → x = 0.075

So one serving will require 0.075 cups. How about 10 servings? We multiply by 10 so:

0.075 * 10 = 0.75

10 servings will need 0.75 cups. We now convert this into a fraction.

0.75 is equivalent to 75/100. We simplify this further it will give 3/4

Therefore 3/4 cups are needed for 10 servings.
