Recipe uses 1/2 c butter 4 tablespoon kernels, and 1 teaspoon salt. If you use 10 tablespoon kernels, how much butter will you need?
To find out how much butter you will need when using 10 tablespoons of kernels instead of 4 tablespoons, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the amount of butter needed.
We know that 4 tablespoons of kernels require 1/2 cup of butter, so we can set up the proportion:
4 tablespoons / (1/2 cup) = 10 tablespoons / x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
4 * x = (1/2) * 10
4x = 5
x = 5/4
Therefore, when using 10 tablespoons of kernels, you will need 5/4 or 1.25 cups of butter.
