  • Q #1: A recipe calls for 6.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL? (Use the conversion rates as provided)

    A. 32.05 mL

    B. 29.55 mL

    C. 34.20 mL

    D. 25.80 mL

    Answer Explanation

    Explanation:

    We need to find the mL in 6.5 teaspoons from the given information.

    If we let x represent the amount of vanilla in mL, and set a proportion equation with number of teaspoons as numerator and mL as denominator, then:

    (frac{6.5}{x} = frac{1}{4.93})

    Find the value of x by cross-products

    6.5 * 4.93 = x

    32.05 = x

    Therefore, 6.5 teaspoons equal 32.05 mL.
