In a triple batch of spice mix, there are 6 teaspoons of garlic powder and 15 teaspoons of salt. Answer the following questions about the mix. If you get stuck, create a double number line. How much salt is used with 8 teaspoons of garlic powder?

Respuesta :

hello

6 spoons of garlic is combined with 15 spoons of salt,

8 spoons of garlic will require x spoons of salt

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6=15 \\ 8=x \\ cross\text{ multiply both sides} \\ 6\times x=8\times15 \\ 6x=120 \\ \text{divide both sides by 6} \\ \frac{6x}{6}=\frac{120}{6} \\ x=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

therefore, 8 teaspoons of garlic will require 20 teaspoons of salt.
