Mary used 2.5 pounds of ground beef witch made 25 tocos. Peter wants to use the same recipe but with 1 pound of ground beef. How many tocos can peter make?

Respuesta :

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

These types of questions involve ratios. So 2.5: 25 is equal to 25 : 250 and all i did was multiply both sides by 10. Then it says that he only has 1 pound of ground beef so 25* 1/25 is equal to one, and then 250 * 1/25 is equal to 10.
