Question

Elerik is using the recipe below to make fruit salad. If he uses 20 diced

strawberries, how many apples will he use in his fruit salad?
Fruit Salad Recipe
4 bananas, diced
3 apples, diced
6 pears, diced
10 strawberries, diced

Answer 1

6 apples

Explanation:

if elerik wants to increase the serving size of his fruit salad, he needs to increase each fruit by the same ratio he did with the strawberries.

if the recipe originally called for 10 diced strawberries, and he used 20, then it means that he doubled the recipe.

20 / 10 = 2

therefore, elerik also needs to double the amount of apples. the original recipe called for 3 apples. you need to multiply that number by 2.

3 * 2 = 6

hope this helps!! :)
