Ratio and proportions

From the question, we have that 2.5 cups of sugar can be used to make recipes for 6 people that is;

6 people = 2.5 cups of sugar

In order to calculate for 35 people, we will have;

35 people  = x

Taking the ratio of the expressions

6/35 = 2.5/x

6x = 87.5

x = 87.5/6

x = 14.6

Hence your father will require 14.6 cups of sugar for the larger group
