A slushy recipe calls for 4 cups of fruit juice, but you only have 3 1/2 cups. by what percentage do you need to cut back all the ingredients to make the recipe turn out correctly?

Respuesta :

You cut everything in half 1/2

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Slushy recipe required fruit juice=4 cups

You have fruit juice=[tex]3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}[/tex] cups

We have to find the percentage of ingredients required to cut  back to make recipe turn out correctly.

You have  to  required fruit juice =[tex]4-\frac{7}{2}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

You need to cut back all ingredients to make the recipe turn out correctly=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cup

Percentage you need to cut back all ingredients to make the recipe turn out correctly=[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{4}\times 100=[/tex]12.5 %

Hence, you need to cut back all the ingredients to make the recipe turn out correctly=12.5%
