Certainly! Let's walk through the question step-by-step to determine which expressions represent the amount of olive oil needed for 4 tablespoons of lemon juice.
First, we'll evaluate the provided expressions one by one to determine what values they represent:
1. Expression: 4
- This simply represents the number 4. It is unclear if it represents the exact proportion needed without further context.
2. Expression: 2
- This represents the number 2. Again, it is not explicitly clear how it relates to the amount of olive oil needed without additional information.
3. Expression: [tex]$4 + 4$[/tex]
- This is a simple arithmetic expression that adds two numbers:
- [tex]$4 + 4 = 8$[/tex]
- This expression represents the number 8.
4. Expression: [tex]$4 + 2$[/tex]
- This is another arithmetic expression that adds two numbers:
- [tex]$4 + 2 = 6$[/tex]
- This expression represents the number 6.
5. Expression: [tex]$4 \cdot 4$[/tex]
- This is a multiplication expression:
- [tex]$4 \cdot 4 = 16$[/tex]
- This expression represents the number 16.
Now, to determine which of these expressions accurately represent the amount of olive oil needed, we must often look into any clue or background information that ties lemon juice proportions to olive oil. However, with no additional context to guide our interpretation of the relationship, we can rightly assume we're simply evaluating numerical results based on standardized arithmetic operations.
Given the task constraints, we can conclude that none explicitly appears universally applicable to a fixed ratio without more data.
If we need to continue representing and assuming typical ratios—without determining exact contextual recipe ties—here's a general sense possibility:
- If we assumed every tablespoon of olive oil needed matches a lemon juice tablespoon equally, 4 tablespoons seem plausible:
1. Expression 4 MATCH: If provided appropriate mixing proportion
For the argument's sake without deeper recipe context estimation:
None position strictly 'ALL' choices.
Thus choice '4' potentially matches making others invalid.
