What is the average amount of cheese in the recipes?

Answer

To find the average amount of cheese in the recipes, we first need to determine the amounts represented by the green x's on the number line. The x's indicate the following amounts: - 5/8 cups (1 x) - 6/8 cups (or 3/4, 2 x's) - 7/8 cups (1 x) Now, we can list these amounts numerically: - 5/8 (once) - 6/8 (twice) - 7/8 (once) Next, we calculate the total amount and the number of entries: Total amounts: 5/8 + 6/8 + 6/8 + 7/8 = 5/8 + 6/8 + 6/8 + 7/8 = (5 + 6 + 6 + 7) / 8 = 24 / 8 = 3 Now, we divide the total by the number of entries: There are 4 entries total (1 from 5/8, 2 from 6/8, and 1 from 7/8). Average = Total Amount / Number of Entries = 3 / 4 = 3/4 cups Therefore, the average amount of cheese in the recipes is 3/4 cups.
