Question

One serving potato soup is $\frac{5}{3}$ cups. Hansa and Greta have potatoes for 160/3 cups of soup. How many servings can be made using this quantity of potatoes?

• A. 30
• B. 32
• C. 35
• D. 40

Answer 1

The correct option is B 32

$\frac{5}{3}$ cups make one serving of potato soup.

They have potatoes for $\frac{160}{3}$ cups of soup.

Therefore, number of servings

= $\frac{160}{3}$ $÷$ $\frac{5}{3}$

= $\frac{160}{3}$ $\times$ $\frac{3}{5}$

= 32

Hence, they can make 32 servings of potato soup.
