One queso dip recipe calls for 4 pieces of cheese and 2 peppers. hector triples the recipe when he makes queso for his family.
described how to find the amount of cheese and peppers in hectors queso.
to triple a recipe, do you multiply or divide each ingredient by ?
To find the amount of cheese and peppers in Hector's queso, you would take the original amounts from the recipe and multiply them by 3 (since he tripled the recipe).
So for the cheese, you would multiply 4 pieces by 3, which equals 12 pieces of cheese in Hector's queso.
And for the peppers, you would multiply 2 peppers by 3, which equals 6 peppers in Hector's queso.
To triple a recipe, you would multiply each ingredient by 3.
how does the amount of cheese compare to the amount of peppers after hector triples the recipe?
there are ? pieces of cheese for every 1 pepper
After Hector triples the recipe, there are 12 pieces of cheese and 6 peppers in his queso.
To compare the amount of cheese to the amount of peppers, you can calculate the ratio of cheese to peppers by dividing the amount of cheese by the amount of peppers.
12 pieces of cheese / 6 peppers = 2 pieces of cheese for every 1 pepper.
Therefore, there are 2 pieces of cheese for every 1 pepper in Hector's queso.
At the community garden kiara uses a mixture of 10 cubic yards of soil and 5 cubic yards of compost. cole needs 8 cubic yards of compost and uses the same ratio of soil to compost as kiara
how many times greater is 10 cubic yards than 5 cubic yards? complete the equation.
5 cubic yd ? ? = 10 cubic yd
To determine how many times greater 10 cubic yards is than 5 cubic yards, we can set up a proportion.
Let's use x as the number of times greater:
5 cubic yd x = 10 cubic yd
To solve for x, we divide 10 cubic yards by 5 cubic yards:
x = 10 / 5
x = 2
Therefore, 10 cubic yards is 2 times greater than 5 cubic yards. The completed equation is:
5 cubic yd x 2 = 10 cubic yd
which expression shows how to find the amount of soil cole needs?
8 x 2
8 / 2
5 x 2
10 x 2
To find the amount of soil that Cole needs, using the same ratio of soil to compost as Kiara, we can use the expression 8 x 2, which represents multiplying the original amount of compost needed by 2.
Therefore, 8 x 2 is the expression that shows how to find the amount of soil Cole needs.
complete the ratio to compare the amount of soil and compost
10:5 is equivalent to ? : 8
To compare the amount of soil to compost in the ratio, we need to determine what amount corresponds to the 5 cubic yards of compost in Kiara's mixture.
Given that 10:5 is the original ratio of soil to compost in Kiara's mixture and that Cole needs 8 cubic yards of compost, we can set up a proportion to find the corresponding amount of soil:
10:5 = x:8
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
10 * 8 = 5 * x
80 = 5x
Next, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 5:
x = 80 / 5
x = 16
Therefore, the completed ratio is:
10:5 is equivalent to 16:8.
