Answer:
3/4 cup of coconut
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cup of coconut for [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cup of toothpaste
Required
Determine how much oil for a cup of toothpaste
Represent Coconut with C and Toothpaste with T;
So,
When
[tex]C = \frac{1}{2}\ \ T = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
We're to solve for
C when T = 1
This can be represented as:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex] --- 1/2 to 2/3
[tex]C = 1[/tex]
Cross Multiply:
[tex]C * \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{2} * 1[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2}{3}C = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Solve for C
[tex]C = \frac{1}{2}/\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]C = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]C = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
This means Sean needs 3/4 cup of coconut oil
