Desiree is making guacamole for a party. The recipe she 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
Since 1/4 cup of lime juice is needed for every 4 avocados, then 1 cup of lime juice would be needed for every 4*4 = <<1*4*4=16>>16 avocados.
Thus, Desiree needs 16 avocados. Answer: \boxed{16}.
To determine how many avocados Desiree needs, we can set up a proportion:
1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados = 1 cup lime juice for x avocados
Setting up the equation, we have:
(1/4) / 4 = 1 / x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
1 * 4 = (1/4) * x
4 = x/4
To isolate x, we multiply both sides by 4:
4 * 4 = x
16 = x
Therefore, Desiree needs 16 avocados to use 1 cup of lime juice.
To find out how many avocados Desiree needs, we will set up a proportion using the given information.
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of lime juice for every 4 avocados. Let's represent this as the ratio 1/4 cup of lime juice to 4 avocados.
Now, if Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we need to set up a proportion to find the number of avocados.
1/4 cup of lime juice is related to 4 avocados.
1 cup of lime juice is related to how many avocados?
Since we know that 1/4 cup of lime juice is related to 4 avocados, we can set up the proportion:
(1/4 cup) / (4 avocados) = (1 cup) / x
By cross-multiplying and solving for x (the number of avocados), we get:
(1/4) * x = 1 * 4
x/4 = 4
To isolate x, we multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 4 * 4
x = 16
Therefore, Desiree needs 16 avocados for the guacamole.
