A certain recipe for snack mix calls for 4 cups of pretzels and 5 cups of cheese puffs and makes 4 servings. Noah wants to make enough for 12 servings. How many cups of cheese puffs does he need?

To find out how many cups of cheese puffs Noah needs for 12 servings, we first note that the original recipe makes 4 servings with 5 cups of cheese puffs. To scale it up to 12 servings, you can set up a simple proportion. Since 12 servings is three times more than 4 servings, you multiply the number of cups of cheese puffs by 3: 5 cups x 3 = 15 cups. So, Noah will need 15 cups of cheese puffs for his snack mix! And just think, now you’ve got a mega snack mix all set for a fun gathering! Perfect for movie nights or party get-togethers, you'll be the hero of snack time!
