A recipe calls for 3 1/2 teaspoons of mustard​ seeds, 4 cups of tomato​ sauce, and
9 3/4 cups of beans. You use 2 2/3 cups of tomato sauce. How many teaspoons of mustard seeds do you​ need? How many cups of beans do you​ need?

Respuesta :

For a recipe call,

Number of teaspoons of mustard seeds = [tex]3\frac{1}{2} =\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Number of cups of tomato sauce = 4

Number of cups of beans = [tex]9\frac{3}{4} =\frac{39}{4}[/tex]

For 4 cups of tomato sauce, the number of teaspoons of mustard seeds needed = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

For 1 cup of tomato sauce, the number of teaspoons of mustard seeds needed = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

For [tex]2\frac{2}{3} =\frac{8}{3}[/tex] cups of tomato sauce, the number of teaspoons of mustard seeds needed = [tex]\frac{7}{8} (\frac{8}{3} )[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{7}{3}=2 \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Hence, for [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of tomato sauce, the number of teaspoons of mustard seeds needed is [tex]2\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

For 4 cups of tomato sauce, the number of cups of beans needed = [tex]\frac{39}{4}[/tex]

For 1 cup of tomato sauce, the number of cups of beans needed = [tex]\frac{39}{16}[/tex]

For [tex]2\frac{2}{3} =\frac{8}{3}[/tex] cups of tomato sauce, the number of cups of beans needed = [tex]\frac{39}{16} (\frac{8}{3} )[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{13}{2}=6 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence, for [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of tomato sauce, the number of cups of beans needed is [tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
