The correct answer would be option A, 3, 48.
You have a recipe for 8 portions of chili that requires 2 lbs of ground beef and 32 oz of tomato sauce. If you want to convert it to 12 portions, you will need 3 lbs of beef and 48 oz of tomato sauce.
Explanation:
If 2 lbs of grounded beef and 32 oz of tomato sauce make 8 portions of chili, then 1 lbs of grounded beef and 16 oz of sauce would make 4 portions.
We need to make 12 portions of chili, which means we need ingredients used to make 4 portions three times to make 12 portions of chili.
So, 4 portions 3 times = 12 portions in total
1 lbs of grounded beef 3 times = 3 lbs of beef
16 oz of tomato sauce 3 times = 48 oz of tomato sauce.
So 12 portions of Chili will require 3 lbs of grounded beef and 48 oz of tomato sauce.
