342 6/9 = 228 cups
You divide by 9 to get 1 and then x by 6 :)

342 cups of coffee / 9 lbs of coffee= 38 cups/lbs
6 lbs x 38 cups /lbs =228 cups of coffee
or
9 lbs/342 cups = 6 lbs/x
9x = 6 x 342
9x = 2052
x = 2052/9
x = 228 cups
Common sense and patience is needed in Math.

9 = 342
6 = x
So 342 / 9
=> 38 cups per lb
=> 38 * 6
=> 228 cups for 6 lb
Hope to answer the question upto satisfaction.

342:9:x:6
9x=2052
9x/9=2052/9
x=228 cups of coffee
228/342=6/9=2/3 so 228 is correct

228 cups. 342 cups of coffee divided by 9 pounds is 38 cups of coffee per pound of coffee. 38 cups of coffee per pound of coffee times 6 pounds is 228 cups of coffee

It's a ratio
342/9=X/6
X=(342*6)/9
X=2052/9
X=228

342 divided by three times two=114x2=228
or
6/9=n/342
342x6/9
