If the recipe calls for 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados, then the ratio is 1/4 cup lime juice to 4 avocados.

If Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up a proportion to find out how many avocados she needs:

1/4 cup lime juice = 4 avocados
1 cup lime juice = x avocados

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

1/4 cup lime juice * x avocados = 1 cup lime juice * 4 avocados
x avocados = 4 avocados

Therefore, Desiree needs 4 avocados.

I apologize for the previously incorrect response.

If the recipe calls for 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados, and Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up a proportion to find out how many avocados she needs:

1/4 cup lime juice = 4 avocados
1 cup lime juice = x avocados

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

1/4 cup lime juice * x avocados = 1 cup lime juice * 4 avocados
x = (1 cup lime juice * 4 avocados)/(1/4 cup lime juice)

By simplifying the equation, we get:

x = (4*4)/(1/4) = 16/1 = 16

Therefore, Desiree needs 16 avocados.

Apologies if my response was not helpful. To determine the number of avocados Desiree needs, we can use the ratio of 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados.

Since Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up the following proportion:

1/4 cup lime juice = 4 avocados
1 cup lime juice = x avocados

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

(1/4) * x = 1 * 4

This simplifies to:

x/4 = 4

Multiplying both sides by 4:

x = 16

Therefore, Desiree needs 16 avocados for her guacamole recipe.

To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to determine the time taken to walk 1 mile at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.

Let's set up a proportion:

2/3 mile = 16 minutes
1 mile = x minutes

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

(2/3) * x = 1 * 16

This simplifies to:

2x = 16

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 8

Therefore, it will take Rubio 8 minutes to get to his friend's house.

I apologize if my response was not what you were expecting. Let's try solving the problem again.

Rubio walks at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. To find out how long it will take him to walk 1 mile, we can set up a proportion:

2/3 mile = 16 minutes
1 mile = x minutes

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

(2/3) * x = 1 * 16

This simplifies to:

2x = 3 * 16

2x = 48

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 24

Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to walk 1 mile to his friend's house.
