Question

The Big Burger recipe calls for 3 meat patties, 2 slices of cheese, and four pickles. How many meat patties are needed if 52 pickles are used?

Answer 1

52/4=13

Which, Therefore means—> 4x13=52

No. Of burger patties=3

If, 52 pickles are used=3x13=39

Therefore, if 52 pickles are used, 39 burger patties will be used

Answer 2

39 meat patties

Explanation:

Given,

The Big Burger recipe calls for 3 meat patties, 2 slices of cheese and 4 pickles,

That is, the ratio of meat patties, cheese and pickles in the recipe = 3 : 2 : 4

Let in a recipe,

Meat patties = 3x, Cheese = 2x, pickles = 4x

Where, x is a positive real number,

If there are 52 pickles,

⇒ 4x = 52 ⇒ x = 13

Hence, meat patties = 3 (13) = 39
