Answer 1

Kari will use 1 ⅓ cups of each type of bean (kidney, pinto, and black) for her soup, as she uses 3 ½ cups of beans in total and the recipe calls for equal amounts of the three kinds of beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of each kind of bean Kari uses in the soup, we can set up an equation since the recipe calls for equal amounts of kidney, pinto, and black beans. If Kari uses 3 ½ cups of beans in total and there are three types of beans, she will use 1 ⅓ cups of each kind of bean. We can find this by dividing the total number of cups of beans by the number of bean types:

1. Write down the total amount of beans used in the recipe: 3 ½ cups.
2. Divide this amount by the number of types of beans: 3 ½ cups ÷ 3 types of beans = 1 ⅓ cups per type of bean.

So, Kari will use 1 ⅓ cups of kidney beans, 1 ⅓ cups of pinto beans, and 1 ⅓ cups of black beans for her soup.
