### Instruction: There are 16 tablespoons in a cup. A recipe for 4 people uses 1 tablespoon of garlic powder. How many cups of garlic powder does it take to make the same recipe for 80 people? Express your answer as a mixed number.### Response: To find the amount of garlic powder for 80 people, I need to scale up the amount for 4 people by a factor of 20, since 80 divided by 4 is 20.
So if the recipe for 4 people uses 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, then the recipe for 80 people uses 20 times 1 tablespoon, or 20 tablespoons of garlic powder.
Now I need to convert 20 tablespoons into cups, using the fact that there are 16 tablespoons in a cup.
To do this, I can divide 20 by 16, which gives me 1 and 1/4 as a mixed number, or 5/4 as an improper fraction.
So 20 tablespoons is equivalent to 1 and 1/4 cups, or 5/4 cups.
This means that the recipe for 80 people requires 1 and 1/4 cups of garlic powder.
