Question

Ms. Freund is making smoothies for her class. She adds 1/2 a cup of spinach for every 3 cups of strawberries. Write an equation she can use to determine the number of cups of spinach , s, she’ll need for b cups of strawberries

Answer 1

Answer:
`(b)/(6)` cups of spinach

Explanation:

We use unitary method to solve this question.

The unitary method is a method to solve a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

Given that Freund requires
`(1)/(2)` cups of spinach for
`3` cups of strawberry.

So,Freund requires
`((1)/(2) )/(3) =(1)/(6)` cups of spinach for
`1` cup of strawberry.

So,for
`b` cups of strawberries,
`b* (1)/(6)`=
`(b)/(6)` of spinach are needed.
