A recipe requires 2.5 teaspoons of sugar to make a candy bar. which equation shows the number of teaspoons of sugar, y, needed to make x candy bars? y = 2.5x x = 2.5y y = 2.5 x x = 2.5 y

If you would like to know the equation that shows the number of teaspoons of sugar needed to make x candy bars, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2.5 teaspoons of sugar ... 1 candy bar

y teaspoons of sugar = ? ... x candy bars = ?

2.5 * x = 1 * y

2.5 * x = y

y = 2.5 * x

The correct result would be y = 2.5 * x.
