A recipe calls for three cups of cheese to make nachos for six people. how much cheese is needed to make nachos for two dozen people?

First, let's figure out how many cups of cheese we need for one dozen people.

There are 12 people in one dozen.

3 cups of cheese = x cups of cheese

6 people 12 people

that means we will need 6 cups of cheese for 12 people, or one dozen.

However, we want to make nachos for two dozen people.

6 cups of cheese for one dozen x 2 dozen = 12 cups of cheese

You need 12 cups of cheese to make nachos for two dozen people.

24ppl x 3cups = 12 cups of cheese
