Question

problem 4 a smoothie recipe calls for 3 cups of milk, 2 frozen bananas and 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup. a. create a diagram to represent the quantities of each ingredient in the recipe.

Explanation:

To solve part (a) of this problem, we can use a bar graph or a pie chart to represent the quantities of each ingredient. Here, we'll use a bar graph as it's straightforward for comparing quantities.

Step 1: Identify the ingredients and their quantities

• Milk: 3 cups
• Frozen bananas: 2
• Chocolate syrup: 1 tablespoon

Step 2: Create the bar graph

• X - axis: List the ingredients (Milk, Frozen Bananas, Chocolate Syrup)
• Y - axis: Represent the quantity. For milk and chocolate syrup, we can use a scale where 1 unit = 1 cup (or 1 tablespoon for chocolate syrup). For frozen bananas, we can use a scale where 1 unit = 1 banana.

Ingredient	Quantity
Frozen Bananas	2
Chocolate Syrup	1

We can draw a bar for each ingredient with a height corresponding to its quantity. For example:

• For milk, the bar height will be 3 units.
• For frozen bananas, the bar height will be 2 units.
• For chocolate syrup, the bar height will be 1 unit.

If we were to use a pie chart, we would first find the total quantity (3 + 2 + 1 = 6). Then, the percentage of each ingredient would be:

• Milk: $\frac{3}{6} \times 100 = 50\%$
• Frozen Bananas: $\frac{2}{6} \times 100 \approx 33.33\%$
• Chocolate Syrup: $\frac{1}{6} \times 100 \approx 16.67\%$

Then we can draw a pie chart with these percentages.

Answer:

A bar graph (or pie chart) can be created as described above to represent the quantities of each ingredient. For a bar graph, the bars for milk, frozen bananas, and chocolate syrup will have heights 3, 2, and 1 respectively (with appropriate units on the y - axis). For a pie chart, the sectors will represent 50%, 33.33%, and 16.67% of the total for milk, frozen bananas, and chocolate syrup respectively.
