Question

A salsa recipe uses green pepper, onion, and tomato in the extended ratio 1 : 5 : 7. How many cups of onion are needed to make 117 cups of salsa?

Answer 1

Answer:

We need 45 cups on onion

Step-by-step explanation:

green pepper : onion: tomato: total

1                          5              7        13

We have 117 total so divide by 13

117/13 = 9

Multiply each number by 9

green pepper : onion: tomato: total

1*9                        5*9        7*9        13*9

9                            45         63           117

We need 45 cups on onion
