Question

Suppose you are making granola bars with 3 cups of oats. How much quinoa, flaxseed, and soy protein would you use would you need? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:
`(3)/(4)\ cup` of quinoa,
`(3)/(8)\ cup` of flaxseed,
`1\ cup` of soy protein.

Explanation:

The missing table is attached.

Let be "q" the amount of cups of quinoa you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats.

Based on the table you can write the following proportion:

`((1)/(2) )/(2)=(q)/(3)`

Solving for "q", you get:

`(1)/(4)=(q)/(3)\\\\q=(3)/(4)`

Let be "f" the amount of cups of flaxseed you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats.

With the data given in the table you can write the following proportion:

`((1)/(4) )/(2)=(f)/(3)`

Solving for "f", you get:

`(1)/(8)=(f)/(3)\\\\f=(3)/(8)`

Let be "s" the amount of cups of soy protein you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats.

Using the table you can write this proportion:

`((2)/(3) )/(2)=(s)/(3)`

Solving for "s", you get:

`(1)/(3)=(s)/(3)\\\\s=1`
