To find the amount of blueberries the baker will use on each dessert, Alex correctly solves the problem by dividing 14 pounds by 8 desserts: \( 14 \div 8 = 1.75 \) pounds per dessert.
To show another way to solve the problem, we can multiply the amount used per dessert by the number of desserts to confirm the total amount used:
If we take the amount per dessert (1.75 pounds) and multiply it by the number of desserts (8), we should get the total amount of blueberries:
\( 1.75 \times 8 = 14 \) pounds.
However, none of the provided options directly show this method.
From the list you provided, the most relevant responses would be the ones that express the distribution of blueberries or the total correctly, but they don't appear accurate.
The response \( 4 \div 8 = 1/2 \) pounds represents a confusion in approach, as it doesn’t relate to the division of 14 directly, and the same goes for \( 4 \times 8 = 12 \) pounds which is incorrect.
If looking at the options closely, none of them accurately represent a correct alternative solving method that also maintains mathematical logic corresponding to the problem's context.
Hence, the best approach to present another solution would typically involve checking the total after finding per dessert usage (but not represented among the options given). Therefore, the problem set does not provide a suitable alternate method using the listed responses.
