Question

A salsa recipe uses green pepper, onion, and tomato in the extended ratio 4:5:6. What is the measure of the smallest angle?

Answer 1

`{\large{ \red{{{19.2 }}}}}`

Solution:

`4x + 5x + 6x = 72`

`⇒ 15x = 72`

`⇒ x = (72)/(15)`

`⇒ x = 4.8`

Onion:
`4x = 4 * 4.8 = 19.2 cups`

Answer 2

19.2 cups of onion

Explanation:

Given a salsa recipe uses green pepper, onion, and tomato in the extended ratio 4:5:6, how many cups of onion are needed to make 72 cups of salsa?

4x + 5x + 6x = 72

⇒ 15x = 72

⇒ x = 72 ÷ 15

⇒ x = 4.8

Onion: 4x = 4 x 4.8 = 19.2 cups
