Julie is using this recipe to make salad dressing. The recipe makes 1 batch of dressing. She plans to make 3 batches of the dressing. She has 4 cups of vegetable oil. Write a multiplication expression to show how much vegetable oil is needed for 5 batches.

Respuesta :

Answer: There is [tex]6\frac{2}{3}\ cups[/tex] needed for 5 batches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of batches of the dressing she plans = 3

Number of vegetable oil she needed for this = 4 cups

We need to find the number of cups of vegetable oil is needed for 5 batches.

For this we will use "Unitary Method" :

For 3 batches of dressing, Number of cups of vegetable oil = 4

For 1 batch of dressing, Number of cups of vegetable oil is given by

[tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

For 5 batches of dressing, Number of cups of vegetable oil is given by

[tex]\frac{4}{3}\times 5\\\\=\frac{20}{3}\\\\=6\frac{2}{3}\ cups[/tex]

Hence, there is [tex]6\frac{2}{3}\ cups[/tex] needed for 5 batches.
