Recipe uses 1/2 c butter ,4 tablespoon kernels and 1 top salt. If you use 10 tbs kernels, how much bitter will you need?

Answer 1

To find out how much butter you will need if you use 10 tablespoons of kernels instead of 4, we can set up a proportion based on the given information.

The ratio of kernels to butter required is 4 tablespoons to 1/2 cup. We need to find the butter needed for 10 tablespoons of kernels.

Using the proportion, we can set it up as:

4 tablespoons / 1/2 cup = 10 tablespoons / x cups

Cross-multiplying, we get:

4 * x = 10 * 1/2

4x = 5

x = 5/4

So, if you use 10 tablespoons of kernels, you will need 5/4 (or 1 1/4) cups of butter.
