Desiree is making guacamole for a party. The recipe she is using calls for 1/4 cup lime juice for every 4 avocados. If she plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, how many avocados does she need? (1 point)
To find out how many avocados Desiree needs, we'll use the given ratio between lime juice and avocados. The recipe states that for every 1/4 cup of lime juice, she needs 4 avocados.
Since she plans to use 1 cup of lime juice, we need to determine how many 1/4 cups are in 1 cup. To do this, we divide 1 cup by 1/4 cup:
1 ÷ (1/4) = 1 × (4/1) = 4 × 4 = 16
So, Desiree needs 16 avocados for 1 cup of lime juice.
