Question

A chef uses a recipe with these ingredients. The chef decides to make more than 1 batch of the recipe.

A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled Vegetable with entries onions 2 , celery 1 , garlic 1 , carrots 3 .

If a total of 20 cups of onions and carrots were used, how many batches did the chef make?
4 batches
5 batches
8 batches
10 batches

Answer 1

Assuming the amount of ingredients given are enough to make one batch, and the chef had enough celery and garlic.

We can see : For one batch to be made, 2 cups of onions and 3 cups of carrots are used.

-> 5 cups combined.

Since a total of 20 cups of the same ingredients were used, we can deduce the number of batches the chef made by dividing it by 5.

-> 20 : 5 = 4 (batches)
