point)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)
avocados
To find the number of avocados Desiree needs, we can set up a proportion:
1/4 cup lime juice = 4 avocados
1 cup lime juice = x avocados
Cross-multiplying, we get:
1 cup lime juice * 4 avocados = 1/4 cup lime juice * x avocados
4 cups lime juice = 1/4 * x
16 cups lime juice = x
Therefore, Desiree needs 16 avocados.
Question
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)
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion using his walking pace:
2/3 mile = 16 minutes
1 mile = x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2/3 mile * x minutes = 1 mile * 16 minutes
2x/3 = 16
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2 (or multiply by the reciprocal):
(2x/3) * (3/2) = 16 * (3/2)
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
To determine the number of avocados Desiree needs, we need to use the information provided in the recipe. The recipe states that for every 4 avocados, 1/4 cup of lime juice is required.
To find out how many avocados are needed for 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up a proportion:
(1/4 cup lime juice) / (4 avocados) = (1 cup lime juice) / (x avocados)
Next, cross multiply to solve for x:
(1/4) * (x) = (1) * (4)
Simplifying the equation:
x/4 = 4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 16
Therefore, Desiree would need 16 avocados for 1 cup of lime juice.
