i.e 32 servings are made from 10 limes

=> 1 seving is made from (10/32) lime

you have to prepare ( 15 * 1/4 ) serving

therefore, required number of limes = (10 /32) * (15 /4)    =   10 * 15 / 32 * 4   = 75 / 64 = 1.17

11) 15 pound peeled potatoes yield (50 * 5) ounce

i.e (50*5) ounce is yielded from 15 pounds of peeled potatoes

=> 1 ounce will be yielded from 15/ ( 50*5) pounds of peeled potatoes
