Sure, let's solve this step by step.
1. Understand the recipe ratios:
- The recipe calls for 6 eggs and 10 cups of flour.
2. Determine the number of recipes Martin can make with 15 eggs:
- The recipe requires 6 eggs per batch.
- Martin has 15 eggs.
- To find out how many batches of the recipe he can make with 15 eggs, we divide the total number of eggs by the number of eggs required per recipe:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of recipes} = \frac{\text{Total eggs}}{\text{Eggs per recipe}} = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5 \text{ recipes}
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the amount of flour needed:
- For each batch, 10 cups of flour are required.
- Martin is making 2.5 recipes.
- To find out how many cups of flour are needed for 2.5 recipes, we multiply the number of recipes by the cups of flour per recipe:
[tex]\[
\text{Flour needed} = \text{Number of recipes} \times \text{Flour per recipe} = 2.5 \times 10 = 25.0 \text{ cups}
\][/tex]
So, Martin will need 25 cups of flour to make bread with 15 eggs according to the recipe.
The correct answer is (C) 25.
