Joanna is making a recipe that uses 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every 2 cups of sugar. If Joanna increases the recipe to use 5 of sugar, how many teaspoon of salt will she need?

B. 3 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that Joanna is making a recipe that uses 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every 2 cups of sugar. Since, uses 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of sugar will use 1/2 of 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will be:

= 1/2 × 1 1/2

= 1/2 × 3/2

= 3/4 teaspoon of salt.

We then multiply the value used for a cup of sugar by 5 since Joanna increases the recipe to use 5 cups of sugar. This will be:

= 3/4 × 5

= 15/4

= 3 3/4

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
