Answer :
Final answer:
The mathematics question at the middle school level pertains to calculating the quantities of different fruits in smoothie combinations, with examples including a Triple Berry mix and several Summer Blend options, all aiming for a total of 16 oz. It also reviews the relationships and conversions related to a simple smoothie recipe and the scaling of ingredients for larger quantities.
This correct answer is none of the above.
Explanation:
The question involves calculating the quantity of ingredients needed to make different combinations of frozen fruits for smoothies, which is a mathematical problem specifically related to ratios and proportions. This can be considered a middle school level math question as it pertains to fundamental arithmetic operations and understanding of measurements.
Review of Smoothie Recipes
For the Triple Berry smoothie combination, the package includes:
6 oz of strawberries
5 oz of raspberries
5 oz of blueberries
Each Summer Blend option combines strawberries, mango, and pineapple to sum up to 16 oz:
8 oz strawberries, 4 oz mango, and 4 oz pineapple
6 oz strawberries, 3 oz mango, and 7 oz pineapple
7 oz strawberries, 4 oz mango, and 5 oz pineapple
5 oz strawberries, 6 oz mango, and 5 oz pineapple
To answer the sample questions:
The balanced relationship in a smoothie with 1 banana, 4 strawberries, 1 container of yogurt, and 3 ice cubes could be written as B + 4St + Y + 3Ic = 1 smoothie.
The conversion factor between ice cubes and smoothies is 3 ice cubes per 1 smoothie.
To make 12 smoothies, you would need 4 strawberries imes 12 smoothies = 48 strawberries.
This correct answer is none of the above.
