Final answer:
The information provided in the question does not match the required details to determine the ratio of butter, blueberries, and sugar in a recipe. Instead, a balanced equation for a smoothie recipe was provided, showing 1 banana, 4 strawberries, 1 yogurt, and 3 ice cubes make 1 smoothie. For 12 smoothies, 48 strawberries would be needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student question is focused on determining the ratio of ingredients in a given recipe. However, the information provided in the review section does not correlate with the initial question about the ratio of butter, blueberries, and sugar, as it instead provides details about a smoothie recipe. Since the relevant information for the recipe of interest is not provided, a direct answer to the ratio of butter to blueberries to sugar cannot be given. Nevertheless, we can address the smoothie recipe provided.
1. To represent the smoothie recipe with a balanced equation, we can denote the quantities of each ingredient using their initial letters: B for banana, St for strawberries, Y for yogurt, and Ic for ice cubes. The balanced equation for one smoothie is: 1B + 4St + 1Y + 3Ic → 1 smoothie.
2. The conversion factor to show the relationship between the number of ice cubes and the number of smoothies produced is 3 ice cubes per 1 smoothie. In equation form, the conversion factor is 3 Ic:1 smoothie.
3. To make 12 smoothies, we need to use the conversion factor that 4 strawberries are used per smoothie. The calculation would be 4 strawberries/smoothie × 12 smoothies, which equals 48 strawberries.
