A family makes gumbo to serve during jazz fest. The gumbo recipe requires twice as many cups of chopped tomatoes as diced onions. Which expression can be used to represent the number of cups of diced onions based on the number of cups of chopped tomatoes, t?

Answer 1

To represent the number of cups of diced onions based on the number of cups of chopped tomatoes (denoted by \( t \)), we start with the information that the number of cups of chopped tomatoes is twice that of the diced onions.

Let's denote the number of cups of diced onions as \( d \). The relationship provided in the recipe can be expressed as:

\[ t = 2d \]

To express \( d \) in terms of \( t \), we can rearrange this equation:

\[ d = \frac{t}{2} \]

Thus, the expression that can be used to represent the number of cups of diced onions based on the number of cups of chopped tomatoes \( t \) is:

\[ \frac{t}{2} \]

Answer 2

A family makes gumbo to serve during jazz fest. The gumbo recipe requires twice as many cups of chopped tomatoes as diced onions. Which expression can be used to represent the number of cups of diced onions based on the number of cups of chopped tomatoes, t?

A.2t
B.t^2
C. t divided by 2
D. 2 + t

Answer 3

Given that the recipe requires twice as many cups of chopped tomatoes as diced onions, if we let \( t \) represent the number of cups of chopped tomatoes, we can express the number of cups of diced onions as follows:

Since \( t = 2d \) (where \( d \) is the number of cups of diced onions), we can rearrange it to find \( d \):

\[ d = \frac{t}{2} \]

Now, looking at the answer choices provided:

A. \( 2t \)
B. \( t^2 \)
C. \( t \) divided by 2 (which is \( \frac{t}{2} \))
D. \( 2 + t \)

The correct answer is:

C. \( t \) divided by 2

This expression accurately represents the number of cups of diced onions based on the number of cups of chopped tomatoes \( t \).
