Question

Mitch used 1 4 pounds of beef to make 3 4 liters of beef strogonoff. If Mitch's recipe is for 1 liter of beef strogonoff, how many pounds of beef will he need to make 6 times the recipe? A) 2 pound of beef B) 3 pounds of beef C) 6 pounds of beef D) 9 pounds of beef

Answer 1

option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 :

Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff

'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff

step 2 :

Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters

(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)

x = 14/34

x = 0.412

1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef

step 3 :

To make 6 times the recipe = 6 $\times$ 0.412

                                              = 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)
