Answer:
6 salads
Step-by-step explanation:
There is 1/2 a cup of tomatoes in each salad Preston makes. He wants to make salads with 3 cups, so set up a proportion:
[tex]\frac{1/2}{1} =\frac{3}{x}[/tex], where x is the number of salads he can make
Cross-multiply:
(1/2) * x = 3
x = 3 ÷ (1/2) = 6
He can make 6 salads.
