Question

Your child only eats cheese quesadillas. You produce cheese quesadillas (Q) from 2 inputs: tortillas (T) and shredded cheese (C). You learn that Costco is having an incredible deal on tortillas and cheese and go to buy enough to stuff your freezer full. A package of Tortillas costs $1 and contains 12 tortillas. A package of shredded cheese costs $1 and contains 4 cups of shredded cheese. Your picky child will only eat the cheese quesadilla if there is exactly 1 cup of cheese per tortilla. You only have room for 8 packages in your freezer. How many packages of cheese should you buy?

Answer 1

Question) As a package of shredded cheese contains 4 cups of shredded cheese and a package of tortillas contains 12 tortillas. The child needs exactly 1 cup of cheese per tortilla, so for each package of tortillas, we need 3 packages of shredded cheese. As we can keep only 8 packages and we need 3 packages of cheese for every package of tortillas. So, we should buy 6 packages of cheese and 2 packages of tortillas.
