Kay was trying to triple a salsa recipe. her recipe for one batch called for 1.232 millimeters of red hot pepper sauce. she thought she added three of that amount for three batches. when people dipped into the salsa, it was too spicy to eat. what could she have done wrong?

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
