Desiree is making guacamole for a party. The recipe she is using calls for 14 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados. If she plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, how many avocados does she need?(1 point)

Answer 1

Let's set up a proportion to solve the problem.

1 cup of lime juice is to 4 avocados as 14 cups of lime juice is to x avocados.

Using cross-multiplication, we have:

1 * x = 14 * 4

x = 56

Desiree needs 56 avocados.
