1 answer

To determine the number of avocados Desiree needs, we need to find the ratio of lime juice to avocados in the recipe.

The ratio is 1/4 cup of lime juice for every 4 avocados.

If she plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, this is equivalent to 4 times the ratio mentioned.

So, for 1 cup of lime juice, she needs 4 times the number of avocados in the ratio, which is 4 * 4 = <<4*4=16>>16 avocados. Answer: \boxed{16}.
