Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The recipe for 8 servings calls for 10 ounces of frozen spinach. To find out how much is needed for 20 servings, we can use a proportion:

10 ounces / 8 servings = x ounces / 20 servings

Cross-multiplying, we get:

8 * x = 10 * 20

Simplifying, we get:

x = 25

Therefore, the recipe for 20 servings would require 25 ounces of frozen spinach, which is option B.
