25 ounces of guacamole are still expected to be available from batch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Quantity of guacamole in one serving = 2.2 ounces

Quantity of guacamole in one batch = 80 ounces

Quantity of guacamole in 25 servings = 2.2*25 = 55 ounces

Guacamole left = Quantity in batch - Quantity of 25 servings

Guacamole left = [tex]80-55 = 25\ ounces\\[/tex]

25 ounces of guacamole are still expected to be available from batch.

Using proportions, it is found that 25 ounces of guacamole should still be available.

  • This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.
  • In one serving, 2.2 ounces of guacamole are placed. How many will be placed on 25 servings?

The rule of three is:

1 serving - 2.2 ounces

25 servings - x ounces

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]x = 2.2(25) = 55[/tex]

Of the 80 ounces, 55 are used, thus 80 - 55 = 25 should still be available.
