a fruit salsa recipe calls for 2 cups finely chopped pineapple and 4 cups of finely chopped strawberries. isaiah only has 1 cup of pineapple. He reasons that because he subtracted 1 cup of pineapple he needs to use 3 cups of strawberries. is his reasoning correct? Explain.

Respuesta :

The reasoning isn't correct.

How to explain the information?

It should be noted that the fruit salsa recipe calls for 2 cups finely chopped pineapple and 4 cups of finely chopped strawberries

This implies that the ratio is:

= 2/4

= 1/2

= 1:2.

Therefore when Isaiah only has 1 cup of pineapple, the appropriate strawberry will be:

= 1 × 2 = 2

He's wrong as he doesn't need 3 cups.
