Question

A salsa recipe uses green pepper, onion, and tomato in the extended ratio 4:5:6. What is the measure of the smallest angle?

Answer 1

Answer:

${\large{ \red{{{19.2 }}}}}$

Solution:

$4x + 5x + 6x = 72$

$⇒ 15x = 72$

$⇒ x = \frac{72}{15}$

$⇒ x = 4.8$

Onion: $4x = 4 \times 4.8 = 19.2 cups$

Answer 2

Answer:

19.2 cups of onion

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a salsa recipe uses green pepper, onion, and tomato in the extended ratio 4:5:6, how many cups of onion are needed to make 72 cups of salsa?

4x + 5x + 6x = 72

⇒ 15x = 72

⇒ x = 72 ÷ 15

⇒ x = 4.8

Onion: 4x = 4 x 4.8 = 19.2 cups
