Jennie is making popcorn. The recipe calls for - cup of butter, 3 tablespoons of kernels, and 1 teaspoon of salt. If she uses 10 tablespoons of kernels, how much butter does she need? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (1 point)
Jennie's recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of kernels, so she needs 10/3 times as much. If the recipe calls for - teaspoon of butter, she needs 10/3*(1/3) = 10/9 tablespoons of butter. Since there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, Jennie needs 10/9/16 = 0.07 cups of butter. Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the answer is 0.07 cups. Answer: \boxed{0.07}.
