Nutty Recipe Distance
1. Problem 2: Determine which recipe is more nutty.
- Recipe A uses 5 cups of cereal and 2 \frac{1}{2} cups of nuts.
- Recipe B uses 3 cups of cereal and 1 cup of nuts.
2. Calculate the nut-to-cereal ratio for each recipe to compare "nutty" levels.
- For Recipe A: Nut-to-cereal ratio = \frac{2.5}{5} = 0.5
- For Recipe B: Nut-to-cereal ratio = \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333
3. Since 0.5 > 0.333, Recipe A has a higher proportion of nuts relative to cereal, so it is more nutty.
4. Problem 4: Calculate the distance Tyrone jogged.
- The track length is \frac{3}{5} of a mile.
- Tyrone jogged around it twice.
5. Total distance run = 2 \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{5} = 1.2 miles.
Final answers:
- Recipe A is more nutty because its nut-to-cereal ratio is higher (0.5 vs. 0.333).
- Tyrone ran 1.2 miles.
