you are making a colorful cake for a birthday party and need to use 5 drops of food coloring for every 6 ounces of icing. how many drops of food coloring do you need if you are using 42 ounces of icing?

Sagot :

First, calculate the number of 6 ounces that can be gotten from 42 ounces.

To get this, divide 42 by 6:

[tex]\frac{42}{6}=7[/tex]

It implies that there are 7 of 6 ounces of icing in 42 ounces of icing.

Since it is given that 5 drops of food coloring are used for every 6 ounces, it follows that for seven of 6 ounces, the number of drops of food coloring will be:

[tex]7\times5=35\text{ drops}[/tex]

The number of drops of food coloring needed for 42 ounces of icing is 35.
