Question

A recipe uses both carrots and onions. The recipe uses 4 times more carrots than onions. If the recipe uses a total of 25 ounces of chopped carrots and onions, how many ounces of onions does the recipe use?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 1/4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

since the amount of carrots is four times the amount of onions, we have to divide 25 by 4. When you do this, you get 6.25 which is the same thing as 6 1/4. This is the amount of onions that are needed when there 25 ounces of carrots.

Hope this helps!
