Answer:
one tablespoon of oil: 1.5 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons of oil: 3 cloves of garlic
5 tablespoons of oil: 7.5 cloves of garlic
10 tablespoons of oil: 15 cloves of garlic
Step-by-step explanation:
For part a:
It says the bread recipe uses 3 tablespoons of olive oil for every 2 cloves of crushed garlic, so the ratio for oil:garlic is 3:2 or 3/2
To get the cloves of garlic for a given amount of oil, multiply the ratio by how much olive oil there is
so for one tablespoon of oil, it's 3/2*1=3/2 or 1.5 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons of oil: 3/2*2=3 cloves of garlic
5 tablespoons of oil: 3/2*5=15/2 or 7.5 cloves of garlic
10 tablespoons of oil: 3/2*10=30/2 or 15 cloves of garlic
Hope this helps!
