Question

a recipe uses 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados. if you use 1 cup lime juice how many avocados do you need

Answer 1

To determine how many avocados you need if you use 1 cup of lime juice, we first need to understand the ratio provided in the recipe.

The recipe states that 1/4 cup of lime juice is used for every 4 avocados.

Now, let's find out how many times 1/4 cup fits into 1 cup:

1 cup = 4/4 cup

So,
1 cup ÷ 1/4 cup = 4

This means you can make the recipe 4 times if you use 1 cup of lime juice.

Since each batch of the recipe uses 4 avocados, if you make it 4 times, you will need:

4 avocados × 4 = 16 avocados

Thus, if you use 1 cup of lime juice, you will need **16 avocados**.
