Question

what quantity of lemon juice would you need to make 5 times as much as the original recipe?
artichoke dip
ingredients:
1 1/2 cups artichokes
1 cup cream cheese
2 teaspoons onion
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 1/4 teaspoons garlic
2 teaspoons salt
write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
teaspoons

Explanation:

Step1: Identify original lemon juice quantity

The original recipe uses \(1\frac{1}{2}\) teaspoons of lemon juice. Convert this mixed number to an improper fraction: \(1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\).

Step2: Multiply by 5 for 5 times the recipe

Multiply \(\frac{3}{2}\) by 5: \(\frac{3}{2} \times 5=\frac{15}{2}\). Convert \(\frac{15}{2}\) to a mixed number: \(7\frac{1}{2}\).

Answer:

\(7\frac{1}{2}\)
