Q:

Suppose you are making granola bars with 3 cups of oats. How much quinoa, flaxseed, and soy protein would you use would you need? Explain

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ cup[/tex] of quinoa, [tex]\frac{3}{8}\ cup[/tex] of flaxseed, [tex]1\ cup[/tex] of soy protein. Step-by-step explanation: The missing table is attached. Let be "q" the amount of cups of quinoa you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats. Based on the table you can write the following proportion: [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{2}=\frac{q}{3}[/tex] Solving for "q", you get: [tex]\frac{1}{4}=\frac{q}{3}\\\\q=\frac{3}{4}[/tex] Β Let be "f" the amount of cups of flaxseed you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats. With the data given in the table you can write the following proportion: [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{4} }{2}=\frac{f}{3}[/tex] Solving for "f", you get: [tex]\frac{1}{8}=\frac{f}{3}\\\\f=\frac{3}{8}[/tex] Let be "s" the amount of cups of soy protein you'd need to use making the granolas with 3 cups of oats. Using the table you can write this proportion: [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{3} }{2}=\frac{s}{3}[/tex] Solving for "s", you get: [tex]\frac{1}{3}=\frac{s}{3}\\\\s=1[/tex]
