Question

To make homemade whipped cream the recipe calls for 1 ½ C of heavy cream, 1 ¼ t of vanilla, and 1 t. of sugar. This amount of whipped cream would be enough to cover one pie. If K makes 6 pies and covers them with whipped cream, how many teaspoons of vanilla will he need?

Answer 1

Answer:

7 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question,

The whipped cream for 1 pie contains

1 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla

Hence:

1 pie = 1 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla

6 pies = x

Cross Multiply

x = 6 × 1 1/4

x = 6 × 5/4

x = 30/4

x = 7 2/4

x = 7 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla

Hence: If K makes 6 pies and covers them with whipped cream, he would be needing 7 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
