Each time the chef makes spaghetti sauce, he uses 2.3 ounces of olive oil and 1.5 cups of tomato sauce. Which statement is true?
A
The product of 5(–2.3) means the chef has 11.5 less ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
B
The product of 5(2.3) means the chef has 11.5 more ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
C
The product of 5(–1.5) means the chef has 7.5 less ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
D
The product of 5(1.5) means the chef has 7.5 more ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
HA! ROBOT GOT IT WRONG AGAIN!!!
Actually, the correct answer is A. A negative amount of olive oil represents the amount being used. Multiply five by negative two and three-tenths to determine that the chef has eleven and a half less ounces of olive oil after making five batches of spaghetti sauce.

when it comes to food, Im an expert👌🏻
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total amount of olive oil used after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
Each serving of spaghetti sauce requires 2.3 ounces of olive oil. To find the total amount of olive oil used after making 5 servings, we multiply 2.3 by 5:
2.3 ounces/serving * 5 servings = 11.5 ounces
From this calculation, we can see that the chef has used 11.5 ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
Now let's evaluate each statement:
A) The product of 5(–2.3) means the chef has 11.5 less ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
In statement A, the product of 5(-2.3) would be -11.5, which does not represent the situation correctly. The chef does not have 11.5 less ounces of olive oil; instead, he has used 11.5 ounces.
B) The product of 5(2.3) means the chef has 11.5 more ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
In statement B, the product of 5(2.3) would indeed be 11.5, which correctly represents the situation. The chef has 11.5 more ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
C) The product of 5(–1.5) means the chef has 7.5 less ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
In statement C, the product of 5(-1.5) would be -7.5. However, this calculation represents the amount of tomato sauce used, not the olive oil. Therefore, statement C is incorrect.
D) The product of 5(1.5) means the chef has 7.5 more ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
In statement D, the product of 5(1.5) would indeed be 7.5, which correctly represents the situation. The chef has 7.5 more ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
Therefore, the correct statement is D: The product of 5(1.5) means the chef has 7.5 more ounces of olive oil after making 5 servings of spaghetti sauce.
