A recipe that serves 6 people calls for
a. Solve this problem by setting up an equation in which you set two fractions equal to each other.
b. Interpret the two fractions that you set equal to each other in part (a) in terms of the recipe. Explain why it makes sense to set these two fractions equal to each other.
c. Why does it make sense to cross-multiply the two fractions in part (a)? What is the logic behind the procedure of cross-multiplying?
d. Now solve the same problem in a different way by reasoning about quantities. Explain your reasoning clearly.

The frequencies were found to be 0, 19, 2, 50, 361, 309, 10, 22, and 24, and those digits correspond to the leading digits of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively. If the observed frequencies are substantially different from the frequencies expected with Benford's law shown below, the check amounts appear to result from fraud. Use a 0.10 significance level to test for goodness-of-fit with Benford's law. Does it appear that the checks are the result of fraud?
