Keith is making a tomato soup recipe that requires 4/5 of a pound of tomatoes but he only has 3/4 of a pound of tomatoes. What fraction of the recipe can Keith make with the amount of tomatoes he has? (I'm lazy...someone help me out?)

15/16 tomato soup

Step-by-step explanation:

his problem can be solved using the principle of proportionality or rule three.

A tomato soup recipe that requires 4/5 of a pound of tomatoes, which means that one unit of tomato soup is produced.

So how many units is produced with the amount of 3/4 of a pound of tomato.

Pound Tomato       Tomato soup 

  4/5                                 1

  3/4                                 x

then x equals:

x = (3/4*1)/(4/5)

x = 0.9375

x =  15/16  tomato soup

Which means that they are that amount of tomato produces 15/16 tomato soup.

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )
