Desiree is making guacamole for a party. The recipe she is using calls for 1/4 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)
a
avocados
I apologize for the previously incorrect response.
If the recipe calls for 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados, and Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up a proportion to find out how many avocados she needs:
1/4 cup lime juice = 4 avocados
1 cup lime juice = x avocados
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
1/4 cup lime juice * x avocados = 1 cup lime juice * 4 avocados
x = (1 cup lime juice * 4 avocados)/(1/4 cup lime juice)
By simplifying the equation, we get:
x = (4*4)/(1/4) = 16/1 = 16
Therefore, Desiree needs 16 avocados.
If the recipe calls for 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados, then the ratio is 1/4 cup lime juice to 4 avocados.
If Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up a proportion to find out how many avocados she needs:
1/4 cup lime juice = 4 avocados
1 cup lime juice = x avocados
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
1/4 cup lime juice * x avocados = 1 cup lime juice * 4 avocados
x avocados = 4 avocados
Therefore, Desiree needs 4 avocados.
no
Apologies if my response was not helpful. To determine the number of avocados Desiree needs, we can use the ratio of 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados.
Since Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up the following proportion:
1/4 cup lime juice = 4 avocados
1 cup lime juice = x avocados
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(1/4) * x = 1 * 4
This simplifies to:
x/4 = 4
Multiplying both sides by 4:
x = 16
Therefore, Desiree needs 16 avocados for her guacamole recipe.
Rubio decides he is going to walk to his friend's house, which is 1 mile from his house. He can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take him to get to his friend’s house?(1 point)
minutes
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to determine the time taken to walk 1 mile at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
Let's set up a proportion:
2/3 mile = 16 minutes
1 mile = x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
This simplifies to:
2x = 16
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 8
Therefore, it will take Rubio 8 minutes to get to his friend's house.
no fuuuuuuuuuu
I apologize if my response was not what you were expecting. Let's try solving the problem again.
Rubio walks at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. To find out how long it will take him to walk 1 mile, we can set up a proportion:
2/3 mile = 16 minutes
1 mile = x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
This simplifies to:
2x = 3 * 16
2x = 48
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to walk 1 mile to his friend's house.
