A recipe calls for 2.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?
A. 5.33 mL
B. 0.507 mL
C. 7.43 mL
D. 12.325 mL
We let x represent the amount of vanilla in mL, since this is what the question is asking us to find.
Next, we will set up a proportion with number of teaspoons on the numerator and amount in mL in the denominator.
Cross-multiply to find the value of x
A recipe of 2.5 teaspoons equals 12.325 mL.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.
