Question

Suppose you are making granola bars with 3 cups of oats. How much quinoa, flaxseed, and soy protein would you use would you need? Explain

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{3}{4}\ cup$ of quinoa, $\frac{3}{8}\ cup$ of flaxseed, $1\ cup$ of soy protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing table is attached.

Let be "q" the amount of cups of quinoa you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats.

Based on the table you can write the following proportion:

$\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{2}=\frac{q}{3}$

Solving for "q", you get:

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{q}{3}\\\\q=\frac{3}{4}$

 Let be "f" the amount of cups of flaxseed you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats.

With the data given in the table you can write the following proportion:

$\frac{\frac{1}{4} }{2}=\frac{f}{3}$

Solving for "f", you get:

$\frac{1}{8}=\frac{f}{3}\\\\f=\frac{3}{8}$

Let be "s" the amount of cups of soy protein you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats.

Using the table you can write this proportion:

$\frac{\frac{2}{3} }{2}=\frac{s}{3}$

Solving for "s", you get:

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{s}{3}\\\\s=1$
