Desiree is making guacamole for a party. The recipe she is using calls for 14 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)
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the problem again:
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados. If Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up the proportion (1/4) / 4 = 1 / x.
Cross-multiplying, we get (1/4) * x = 4 * 1.
Simplifying, we have x/4 = 4.
Multiplying both sides by 4, we find x = 4 * 4.
Therefore, Desiree needs 16 avocados.

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?

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion. The proportion will compare the amount of lime juice to the number of avocados.
Let's call the number of avocados "x".
The proportion can be written as: 14 cups of lime juice / 4 avocados = 1 cup of lime juice / x avocados.
To solve for "x", we can cross multiply:
14 cups of lime juice * x avocados = 4 avocados * 1 cup of lime juice.
This simplifies to:
14x = 4.
To isolate "x", we divide both sides of the equation by 14:
14x / 14 = 4 / 14.
This simplifies to:
x = 4 / 14.
Therefore, Desiree needs approximately 0.28 avocados. Since you can't have a fraction of an avocado, she would need to round up to the nearest whole avocado.
Therefore, Desiree needs 1 avocado to make the guacamole.
To find the number of avocados Desiree needs, we can set up the proportion 14/4 = 1/x.
Cross-multiplying, we get 14x = 4 * 1.
Simplifying, we have 14x = 4.
Dividing both sides by 14, we find x = 4/14 = 2/7 = 0.285.
Therefore, Desiree needs approximately 0.285 avocados.
To find the number of avocados Desiree needs, we can set up the proportion (1/4) / 4 = x / 1.
Cross-multiplying, we get 1 * 4 = (1/4) * x.
Simplifying, we have 4 = x/4.
Multiplying both sides by 4, we find x = 16/4 = 4.
Therefore, Desiree needs 4 avocados.
