Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 30.

Calculations:

The ratio of cheese to sauce for a single pizza is 1 cup to 12 {{1} \over 2} cup

Cheese/Sause = 1/1/2 = 1/0.5

Let, the cups of cheese used by Rama be x

⇒ 1/0.5 = x/15

⇒ x = 15/0.5 = 30

Hence, the cups of cheese used by Rama = 30
