Question

A recipe for guacamole uses 12% of lime juice. If a batch contains 0.75 cup of lime juice, how large is the batch of guacamole?

Answer 1

A batch contains 0.75 cup of lime juice.

The recipe of guacamole uses 12% of lime juice of a normal batch. This means that it contains less amount of lime juice, it contains 12% of 0.75

12% of 0.75 cup is 0.12 × 0.75, which is 0.09

The batch of guacamole was pretty small as it only contains 0.09 cup of lime juice.

Answer 2

Answer: 0.75 cups of lime juice=0.75/0.12 guacamole. 0.75 cups of lime juice=6.25 guacamole. Hence, one batch = 6.25 guacamole.
