Question

complete the table to show how many cups of broth and vegetables you need to make 48 cups of vegetable soup.

broth (cups)	vegetables (cups)	total (cups)
		48

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio factor

First, we know that the original total is 8 cups (2 broth + 6 vegetables). We need to find how many times 8 goes into 48. So we calculate \( \frac{48}{8} = 6 \). This means we need to multiply the original amounts of broth and vegetables by 6.

Step2: Calculate cups of broth

The original amount of broth is 2 cups. Multiply by the ratio factor: \( 2\times6 = 12 \) cups of broth.

Step3: Calculate cups of vegetables

The original amount of vegetables is 6 cups. Multiply by the ratio factor: \( 6\times6 = 36 \) cups of vegetables.

Answer:

For broth: 12, for vegetables: 36. So the table should be:

Broth (cups)	Vegetables (cups)	Total (cups)
12	36	48
