esiree 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)

Question

avocados

Answer 1

To find out how many avocados Desiree needs, we need to set up a proportion.

The proportion can be set up as:

14 cup lime juice / 4 avocados = 1 cup lime juice / x avocados

Cross-multiplying, we get:

14 * x = 4 * 1

Simplifying the equation, we have:

14x = 4

Dividing both sides by 14, we get:

x = 4 / 14 = 2 / 7 = 0.2857 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

Therefore, Desiree needs approximately 0.2857 avocados, which can be rounded to 0.29 avocados.

Answer 2

Wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's solve the problem correctly.

According to the recipe, there are 14 cup lime juice per 4 avocados. To find out how many avocados are needed for 1 cup of lime juice, we can set up a proportion:

14 cup lime juice / 4 avocados = 1 cup lime juice / x avocados

Cross-multiplying, we get:

14 * x = 4 * 1

Simplifying the equation:

14x = 4

Dividing both sides by 14, we find:

x = 4 / 14 = 2 / 7 = 0.2857 (approximated to 4 decimal places)

Therefore, Desiree needs approximately 0.286 avocados to make 1 cup of lime juice.
