Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  It takes 1\4 cups of mayonnaise to make 3\4 cups of tuna fish salad. If Cory has a recipe for 1 cup of tuna fish salad, how much mayonnaise will he need to make 9 times the recipe?

• Given 3/4 cups of tuna fish salad can be made from 1/4 cups of mayonnaise
• So 1 cup of tuna fish salad can be made from 1/4 / 3/4 cups of mayonnaise
•                   = 1/4 x  4/3  
•                                                                         = 1/3 cups of mayonnaise
• So 1 cup recipe of tuna fish salad can be made from 1/3 cups of mayonnaise
• Therefore 9 cups or 9 times can be made from 1/3 x 9
•           = 3 cups of mayonnaise

So 3 cups of mayonnaise is needed to make 9 times the recipe.

Answer 2

3 cups of mayonnaise will be needed to make 9 times the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, $\frac{3}{4}$ cups of tuna fish salad is prepared from $\frac{1}{4}$ cups of mayonnaise.

Using the unitary method, we can write

1 cup of tuna fish salad is prepared from $\frac{\frac{1}{4} }{\frac{3}{4} } = \frac{1}{3}$ cups of mayonnaise.

So, 9 cups of tuna fish salad are prepared from $\frac{1}{3} \times 9 = 3$ cups of mayonnaise.

Therefore, 3 cups of mayonnaise will be needed to make 9 times the recipe. (Answer)
