12 egg yolks would be needed for 8 table spoons of lime Zest.
We need to create an expression of equivalent ratios to arrive at a solution ;
The expression would be written thus:
- Number of egg yolk = Number of lime Zest
Let the number of egg yolks needed = e
Now we have ;
3 = 2
x = 8
cross multiply
2x = 8 × 3
2x = 24
divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
2x/2 = 24/2
x = 12
Therefore, 12 egg yolks are needed for 8 tea spoons of lime zest.
