Jennie is making popcorn the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of butter 3 tablespoons of kernels and 1 teaspoon of salt if she uses 10 tablespoons kernels how much butter does she need round to the nearest hundredth
If the recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of kernels, and Jennie wants to use 10 tablespoons instead, she would need to increase the amount of butter she uses accordingly.
To find out how much butter she needs, we can set up a proportion:
3 tablespoons of kernels = 1/2 cup of butter
10 tablespoons of kernels = x
We can solve for x by cross-multiplying:
3 * x = 10 * (1/2)
3x = 5
x = 5/3
Therefore, Jennie would need approximately 1.67 cups of butter to use with 10 tablespoons of kernels. Rounding to the nearest hundredth, she would need 1.67, which means she needs 1.67 cups of butter.
