Question

A chef at a restaurant uses 1/5 liter of lemon juice and 3/10 liter of teriyaki sauce to make a marinade for 2 kilograms of salmon.

How many liters of marinade does the chef use per kilogram of salmon?

a. 2/5
b. 1/2
c. 3/5
d. 4/5

Answer 1

1/4, though it does not seem to be an option.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 = 2/10

2/10 + 3/10 = 5/10

5/10 = 0.5

0.5 / 2 (for the salmon) = 0.25

0.25 = 1/4

Answer 2

The chef uses 1/4 liters of marinade per kilogram of salmon, which is equivalent to 250 milliliters per kilogram of salmon.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of marinade used per kilogram of salmon, we need to determine the total amount of marinade used and then divide it by the weight of the salmon.

The chef uses 1/5 liter of lemon juice and 3/10 liter of teriyaki sauce, totaling 1/5 + 3/10 = 2/10 + 3/10 = 5/10 liters of marinade.

Since the chef uses this amount of marinade for 2 kilograms of salmon, divide 5/10 liters by 2: 5/10 ÷ 2 = 5/10 * 1/2 = 5/20 = 1/4 liters per kilogram.

Therefore, the chef uses 1/4 liters of marinade per kilogram of salmon, which is equivalent to 1/4 * 1000 milliliters = 250 milliliters per kilogram of salmon.
