Problem. Suppose you are having a dinner party for a large group of people, and you decide to make 2 gallons of chili. The recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of hot sauce per gallon, but you misread the instructions and put in 2 tablespoons of hot sauce per gallon. (Since each tablespoon is 3 teaspoons, you have put in 6 teaspoons per gallon, which is a total of 12 teaspoons of hot sauce in the chili.) You donât want to throw the chili out because there isnât much else to eat (and some people like hot chili!), so you serve the chili anyway. However, as each person takes some chili, you fill up the pot with beans and tomatoes without hot sauce until the concentration of hot sauce agrees with the recipe. Suppose the guests take 1 cup of chili per minute from the pot (there are 16 cups in a gallon), how long will it take to get the chili back to the recipeâs concentration of hot sauce? How many cups of chili will have been taken from the pot?
