Answer:
Derlay will mix one-sixth of a cup with 112 cups of hydrogen peroxide.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
48 teaspoons = 1 cup
A chemical reaction involves mixing 1 teaspoon of yeast with 14 cup of hydrogen peroxide.
Thus, the ratio of yeast to hydrogen peroxide in teaspoons
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Yeast}}{\text{Hydrogen Peroxide}} = \dfrac{1}{14\times 48} = \dfrac{1}{672}[/tex]
112 cups of hydrogen peroxide are used.
Thus, we can write:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{672} = \dfrac{\text{Teaspoons of yeast}}{112\times 48}\\\\\text{Teaspoons of yeast} = \dfrac{112\times 48}{672}\\\\\text{Teaspoons of yeast} = 8\\\\\text{Cups of yeast} = \dfrac{8}{48} = \dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
Thus, Derlay will mix one-sixth of a cup with 112 cups of hydrogen peroxide.
