Answer:

C. 2 [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We want 3.5 (3 1/2) cups of sugar that serves 60 people to serve 48 people instead. So we use proportions. Set it up:

[tex]\frac{x}{3.5} = \frac{48}{60}[/tex]

60x = 168 (48 x 3.5)

/60     /60

x = 2.8 cups of sugar serves 48 people.

Change 2.8 into fractions: 2 [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
