Question

An experiment for a chemical reaction involves mixing 1 teaspoon of yeast with 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide. Delray wants to do the same experiment with larger amounts of the two ingredients. He uses 1 1/2 cups of hydrogen peroxide and needs to keep the same ratio of yeast to hydrogen peroxide. Note that there are 48 teaspoons in 1 cup. How much yeast, in cups, should Delray mix with this amount of hydrogen peroxide? (You guys are good at this, right?)

Answer 1

Answer:

1/8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

For every quarter of a cup of peroxide, there is a teaspoon of yeast. there are six quarter cups in one and a half cups, so there is 6 tsp of yeast. Divide 6 by 48 (to bring it into cups) and that leaves you with 0.125 cups, or 1/8 cups. Hope this helps!
