Final answer:
The question is about calculating the total amount of ingredients needed for a recipe. As an example, if making 8 salads with 7 tablespoons of cheese each, you would need 56 tablespoons in total, which convert to 3.5 cups as there are 16 tablespoons in a cup.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the question about Ramon's recipe for vegetable dip, it's necessary to first understand the measurements provided in the question. Since the details of the recipe are not specified, we will demonstrate a similar example to help you understand how to calculate the total amount of an ingredient needed for a recipe.
Let's take the example of Henrietta who is preparing salads and needs to use a certain amount of Romano cheese. Here is how the calculation is done step by step:
- Determine the total tablespoons needed: Henrietta needs 7 tablespoons of Romano cheese for each salad. She is making 8 salads, so she will need 8×7=56 tablespoons of Romano cheese.
- Convert tablespoons to cups: Since there are 16 tablespoons in one cup, divide 56 by 16 to find out how many cups are needed. 56÷16=3.5, so Henrietta will need 3.5 cups of Romano cheese.
Similarly, for Ramon's recipe, you would need to calculate the total quantity of each ingredient based on how many servings of the dip he intends to make, and then convert those measurements into larger units if necessary.
