esiree is making guacamole for a party. The recipe she is using calls for 14 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados. If she plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, how many avocados does she need?(1 point)
avocados
To find out how many avocados Desiree needs, we need to set up a proportion.
The proportion can be set up as:
14 cup lime juice / 4 avocados = 1 cup lime juice / x avocados
Cross-multiplying, we get:
14 * x = 4 * 1
Simplifying the equation, we have:
14x = 4
Dividing both sides by 14, we get:
x = 4 / 14 = 2 / 7 = 0.2857 (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Therefore, Desiree needs approximately 0.2857 avocados, which can be rounded to 0.29 avocados.
Wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's solve the problem correctly.
According to the recipe, there are 14 cup lime juice per 4 avocados. To find out how many avocados are needed for 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up a proportion:
14 cup lime juice / 4 avocados = 1 cup lime juice / x avocados
Cross-multiplying, we get:
14 * x = 4 * 1
Simplifying the equation:
14x = 4
Dividing both sides by 14, we find:
x = 4 / 14 = 2 / 7 = 0.2857 (approximated to 4 decimal places)
Therefore, Desiree needs approximately 0.286 avocados to make 1 cup of lime juice.
To find out how many avocados Desiree needs, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
According to the recipe, 14 cups of lime juice is needed for every 4 avocados.
Let's set up the proportion:
14 cups lime juice / 4 avocados = 1 cup lime juice / x avocados
To solve for x (the number of avocados), we can cross-multiply:
14 cups lime juice * x avocados = 4 avocados * 1 cup lime juice
Let's simplify this:
14x = 4
Now, divide both sides by 14:
x = 4 / 14
Simplify the fraction:
x ≈ 0.2857
So, Desiree would need approximately 0.2857 avocados. Since we can't have fractional avocados, she would need to round up to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, Desiree would need 1 avocado for 1 cup of lime juice.
To determine the number of avocados Desiree needs, we can set up a proportion based on the amount of lime juice required for the recipe.
The given information states that for every 14 cups of lime juice, you need 4 avocados. Therefore, we can express this relationship as:
14 cups lime juice / 4 avocados = 1 cup lime juice / x avocados
To solve for x (the number of avocados), we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
14 cups lime juice * x avocados = 1 cup lime juice * 4 avocados
14x = 4
Divide both sides of the equation by 14:
x = 4 / 14
Simplify the fraction:
x ≈ 0.2857
Therefore, Desiree needs approximately 0.2857 avocados. Since we can't have a partial avocado, she will need to round up to the nearest whole number. Thus, Desiree needs 1 avocado for the recipe.
