Answer:
9 green peppers and 3 red peppers
Step-by-step explanation:
Lupe's chili recipe makes 12 servings and uses green peppers = 12
Therefore, for 1 serving he uses = [tex]\frac{12}{12}[/tex] = 1 green pepper
He uses red peppers for 12 servings = 4
for 1 serving he uses = [tex]\frac{4}{12}[/tex] red pepper
∴ for 9 servings Lupe needs green pepper = 1 × 9 = 9 green peppers
and for 9 servings Lupe needs red pepper = [tex]\frac{4}{12}[/tex] × 9
= [tex]\frac{36}{12}[/tex]
= 3 red peppers
Lupe needs 9 green peppers and 3 red peppers for 9 servings
