Answer:   11 cups of soup

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion with the given information.  Then cross multiply and solve for the unknown value.

[tex]\dfrac{44\ cups}{60\ sandwiches}=\dfrac{x}{15\ sandwiches}\\\\\\44(15)=60(x)\\\\\\\dfrac{44(15)}{60}=x\\\\\\11=x[/tex]

Answer:

11 cups of soups will be sold for every 15 sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do here is just cross multiply

you have 44 cups of soup every 60 sandwiches : 44/60

the we want to know how many soup will be sold for every 15 sandwiches :

n (representing the number we need to find) /15

44/60 = n/15  (cross multiplying meaning we're going to multiply the sides opposite)

44 x 15 = 660

n x 60 = 60n

660 = 60n

now we have to divide 660 by 60

660/60 = n

11 = n
