Answer :

You do NOT have enough cups of sugar for 40 people
If a recipe calls for 1 1/2 OR 1.5 (decimal form) for 6 people then:
1.5/6 = 0.25 cups of sugar PER person

0.25 x 40 = 10 cups
We will need 10 cups of sugar for 40 people but the we only have 9 cups
therefore 9 cups arent enough for 40 ppl
