Jenny's making popcorn the recipe calls for 1/2 a cup of butter 3 tablespoons of kernels in one tablespoon of salt if she uses 10 tablespoons of kernels how much butter will she need

Answer 3

To find out how much butter Jenny will need if she uses 10 tablespoons of kernels, we can set up a proportion using the given information.

The recipe states that for 3 tablespoons of kernels, we need 1/2 a cup of butter. Let's represent this relationship as:

(3 tablespoons of kernels) / (1/2 a cup of butter) = (10 tablespoons of kernels) / (x cups of butter)

To solve for x (the amount of butter), we can cross-multiply and then divide:

(3/1) / (1/2) = (10/x)

6/1 = 10/x

Cross-multiplying:

6x = 10

Dividing both sides by 6:

x = 10/6

Simplifying:

x = 5/3

So, if Jenny uses 10 tablespoons of kernels, she will need 5/3 (or 1 and 2/3) cups of butter.
