Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.
