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) avocados

Answer 1

To determine how many avocados Desiree needs, we can set up a proportion. The recipe calls for 14 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados, so we can set up the following proportion:

14/4 = 1/x

To solve for x (the number of avocados), we can cross-multiply:

14x = 4

Divide both sides by 14 to isolate x:

x = 4/14

Simplifying the fraction:

x = 2/7

Therefore, Desiree would need 2/7 of an avocado.

Answer 2

how many avocadoes does she need

Answer 3

If Desiree plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, and the recipe calls for 14 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados, we can set up the following proportion:

14/4 = 1/x

To solve for x (the number of avocados), we can cross-multiply:

14x = 4

Divide both sides by 14:

x = 4/14

Simplifying the fraction:

x = 2/7

Therefore, Desiree would need 2/7 of an avocado. However, since it is not practical to have a fraction of an avocado, she would need to round up to the nearest whole avocado, which is 1 avocado. Therefore, Desiree needs 1 avocado.
