It would take 10 and half tomatillos to make 18 ounces of enchilada sauce.
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of tomatillos = 7
Quantity of sauce made = 12 ounces
Ratio of tomatillos to sauce = 7:12
Quantity of sauce to made = 18 ounces
No. of tomatillos used = x
New ratio of tomatillos to sauce = x:18
Using proportion
Ratio of tomatillos to sauce :: New ratio of tomatillos to sauce
[tex]7:12::x:18[/tex]
Product of mean = Product of extreme
[tex]12*x=7*18\\12x=126\\[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 12
[tex]\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{126}{12}\\x=10.5\ tomatillos[/tex]
It would take 10 and half tomatillos to make 18 ounces of enchilada sauce.
