i have a math project that i don't get.here it is:
Your culinary challenge is to make a delectable dish from five packaged ingredients that you already have at home in your pantry (i.e., a kitchen cupboard, the fridge, or the freezer). If you do not have the five packaged ingredients you want to use at home, you may use a grocery store flier from the newspaper or grocery store website to select your ingredients.
You can use any five food ingredients that come in a container or package with the package size given in ounces. Out of your five ingredients, you must include at least three that are more than 1 ounce. Also, your five ingredients in fraction form must contain at least three different denominators. For example, your ingredient amounts cannot be 1 1 5 , 4 2 5 , 2 5 5 , 1 8 5 , and 3 10 5 because all of these fractions have a denominator of 5. Your ingredient amounts could be 1 1 5 , 4 2 5 , 2 5 3 , 1 8 3 , and 110 2 because 2, 3, and 5 are three different denominators. • Your recipe must use the whole container of the ingredient for the basic recipe.
My food that i am making is easy chili:
kidney beans with liquid 15.1 ounces
large onion chopped 1/3
lean ground meat 1/2 pound
diced tomatoes with liquid 14.5 ounces
chili powder 1/2 teaspoons
can you help me figure out the total amount of ingredients and show the work, and can you help me find the serving size per person, the recipe serves six people.
sorry i meant
or example, your ingredient amounts cannot be 1 1/5 , 2 4/5 , 5 2/5 , 8 1/5 , and 10 3/5 because all of these fractions have a denominator of 5. Your ingredient amounts could be 1 1/5 , 2 4/5 , 5 2/3 , 8 1/3 , and 101/2 because 2, 3, and 5 are three different denominators.
Sure! Let's calculate the total amount of ingredients and the serving size per person for your easy chili recipe.
To find the total amount of ingredients, we'll add up the quantities of each ingredient.
Kidney beans with liquid: 15.1 ounces
Large onion chopped: 1/3 (approximately 0.33) of an onion
Lean ground meat: 1/2 pound (8 ounces)
Diced tomatoes with liquid: 14.5 ounces
Chili powder: 1/2 teaspoon
Total amount of ingredients:
Kidney beans with liquid: 15.1 ounces
Large onion chopped: 0.33 of an onion
Lean ground meat: 8 ounces
Diced tomatoes with liquid: 14.5 ounces
Chili powder: 1/2 teaspoon
Now let's find the serving size per person. Since the recipe serves six people, we'll divide the total amount of ingredients by 6.
Kidney beans with liquid: 15.1 ounces / 6 = 2.52 ounces per person
Large onion chopped: 0.33 of an onion / 6 = approximately 0.055 of an onion per person
Lean ground meat: 8 ounces / 6 = 1.33 ounces per person
Diced tomatoes with liquid: 14.5 ounces / 6 = 2.42 ounces per person
Chili powder: 1/2 teaspoon / 6 = approximately 0.083 teaspoon per person
So, the serving size per person for your easy chili recipe would be:
- Kidney beans with liquid: 2.52 ounces
- Large onion chopped: approximately 0.055 of an onion
- Lean ground meat: 1.33 ounces
- Diced tomatoes with liquid: 2.42 ounces
- Chili powder: approximately 0.083 teaspoon
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
To find the total amount of ingredients, you will need to add up all the given measurements. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Kidney beans with liquid: Given amount - 15.1 ounces
2. Large onion chopped: Given amount - 1/3 (assuming it means 1/3 of a cup)
3. Lean ground meat: Given amount - 1/2 pound (which is 8 ounces)
4. Diced tomatoes with liquid: Given amount - 14.5 ounces
5. Chili powder: Given amount - 1/2 teaspoon
Now, let's calculate the total amount of each ingredient:
1. Kidney beans with liquid: 15.1 ounces
2. Large onion chopped: 1/3 cup
3. Lean ground meat: 8 ounces
4. Diced tomatoes with liquid: 14.5 ounces
5. Chili powder: 1/2 teaspoon
Total amount = 15.1 + 1/3 + 8 + 14.5 + 1/2
To add these together, we need to convert the fractions to a common denominator. In this case, since the denominators are all different, we'll use a general denominator of 6.
Converting the fractions:
1/3 cup = (1/3) * (2/2) = 2/6
1/2 teaspoon = (1/2) * (3/3) = 3/6
Now, let's add up the amounts again:
Total amount = 15.1 + 2/6 + 8 + 14.5 + 3/6
Next, we need to simplify the fractions. The fractions 2/6 and 3/6 have the same denominator, so we can simply add their numerators:
Total amount = 15.1 + (2 + 3)/6 + 8 + 14.5
Total amount = 15.1 + 5/6 + 8 + 14.5
Now, add all the numbers together:
Total amount = (15.1 + 5/6) + 8 + 14.5
Finally, calculate the total amount:
Total amount = 37.6 + 8 + 14.5
Total amount = 60.1 ounces
So, the total amount of ingredients for the Easy Chili recipe is 60.1 ounces.
Now, let's move on to calculating the serving size per person.
Given that the recipe serves six people, divide the total amount of ingredients by the number of servings:
Serving size per person = Total amount / Number of servings
Serving size per person = 60.1 ounces / 6
Serving size per person = 10.02 ounces
Therefore, the serving size per person for the Easy Chili recipe is approximately 10.02 ounces.
