Mse the recipe card for \( 7-8 \). Question Help Rhoda has 3 cups of water. Is this enough water to make 3 batches of green slime for a class project? Explain. Theen slime? 16 tablespoons in 1 cup. How many tablespoons of cornstarch would Rhoda need to make 12 batches o lick here to view the customary units. Click here to view the recipe card. Select the correct choice below, and fill in the answer boxes to complete the explanation. A. Yes. Rhoda needs \( \square \) pints of water, which equals \( \square \) cups. B. No. Rhoda needs \( \square \) pints of water, which equals \( \square \) cups.

To determine if Rhoda has enough water to make 3 batches of green slime, we need to refer to the recipe card for the amount of water required for one batch. Let's assume the recipe card indicates that each batch requires a certain amount of water. ### Step 1: Determine the water needed for 3 batches Assuming the recipe requires \( x \) cups of water for one batch, then for 3 batches, Rhoda would need: \[ 3 \times x \text{ cups of water} \] ### Step 2: Compare with the available water Rhoda has 3 cups of water. We need to check if: \[ 3 \text{ cups} \geq 3 \times x \text{ cups} \] This will help us determine if she has enough water. ### Step 3: Convert cups to pints Since the answer choices involve pints, we need to convert cups to pints. There are 2 cups in 1 pint. Therefore, if Rhoda needs \( y \) cups of water, the conversion to pints is: \[ \text{pints} = \frac{y}{2} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the required water Now, let's assume the recipe card states that each batch requires 1 cup of water (this is a common amount for slime recipes). Thus: \[ x = 1 \text{ cup} \] Then for 3 batches: \[ 3 \times 1 = 3 \text{ cups} \] ### Step 5: Conclusion Since Rhoda has exactly 3 cups of water, she has enough water to make 3 batches of green slime. ### Filling in the answer boxes Since she needs 3 cups, which is equal to: \[ \text{pints} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \text{ pints} \] Thus, we can fill in the answer boxes as follows: **A. Yes. Rhoda needs \( 1.5 \) pints of water, which equals \( 3 \) cups.**
