Answer:

[tex]3\ cups[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

we know that

A serving of chicken noodle soup is [tex]3/4[/tex] cup

so by proportion

Find how many cups are [tex]20[/tex] servings of chicken noodle soup

[tex]\frac{(3/4)}{1}\frac{cup}{serving} =\frac{x}{20}\frac{cup}{serving}\\ \\x=20*(3/4)\\ \\x=15\ cups[/tex]

Part B)

we know that

A serving of vegetable soup is [tex]2/3[/tex] cup

so by proportion

Find how many cups are [tex]18[/tex] servings of vegetable soup

[tex]\frac{(2/3)}{1}\frac{cup}{serving} =\frac{x}{18}\frac{cup}{serving}\\ \\x=18*(2/3)\\ \\x=12\ cups[/tex]

Part C)

Find the difference

[tex]15\ cups-12\ cups=3\ cups[/tex]
