Michael is making chili for a get-together. His recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of diced tomatoes for every 3 cups of chili He wants to make 12 cups of chili. How many cups of diced tomatoes should he put in the chili?

6

Step-by-step explanation:

You do the equation '1 and a half times 4' because 12 divided by 3 is 4

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
