Answer:

Use [tex]3[/tex] times as many boxes of rice

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Using proportion

[tex]\frac{4}{13}\frac{boxes}{people}=\frac{x}{39}\frac{boxes}{people} \\ \\x=39*4/13\\ \\x=12\ boxes[/tex]

original quantity of boxes ----->  [tex]4[/tex]

boxes needed ----->  [tex]12[/tex]

[tex]12=3*(4)[/tex]

therefore

Use [tex]3[/tex] times as many boxes of rice
