THIS IS AN EMERGENCY
A recipe that serves two people calls for 1,800 milligrams of baking powder. You want to make enough for 10 people. How many grams of baking powder will you need? Write an equation to show your work.

9 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use these equations:

y = ax

Where y is the total amount of baking soda (in mg)Where a is the number of servingsWhere x is the amount of baking soda in one single serving (in mg)

Here we know that y = 1800 and a = 2, so we will need to solve for x

Solving for x we get and plugging in our known values we get and this simplifies to 900This means one serving contains 900 mg of baking soda

We can now change the equation to solve for the total amount of baking soda required to serve 10 people

We know that a = 10 and x = 900The equation is already solved for y, so plugging in our new values we have y = (10)(900) = 9000 mgThe recipe will require 9000 mg in order to serve 10 people

Now there are 1000 mg in 1 g, so converting mg to g we have 9000 mg is equivalent to 9 grams
