Answer:

Ricardo is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ricardo's recipe for 4 loaves of bread requires 2/3 cup of olive oil.

Now we are given that he wants to make 1 loaf.

So, 4 loaves requires cup of oil = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

So, 1 loaf requires cup of oil =  [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{4}[/tex]

                                               =  [tex]\frac{2}{12}[/tex]

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

Thus he requires 1/6 cup of oil to make 1 loaf .

While he decided he needs 1/4 cups .

So, Ricardo is wrong
