A recipe calls for 2 spoonfuls of butter for each egg used. One egg is used for every 3 servings to be made. How much butter is needed for 6 servings?

Ratios in this situation:
1 egg:2 spoonful of butter
1:egg 3 servings

So convert:
[tex]6 servings(\frac{1 egg}{3 servings})(\frac{2 spoonful of butter}{1 egg})=4 spoonful of butter[/tex]

Hope this helps =)

Since we have the ratios:
1 egg : 2 spoonfuls of butter and
1 egg : 3 servings

So we combine the ratios and we have:
1 egg : 2 spoonfuls of butter : 3 servings

We multiply this by 2:
2 eggs : 4 spoonfuls of butter : 6 servings

4 spoonfuls of butter is needed for 6 servings.
