Answer:4 1/2 Teaspoons of vanilla will be left in the bottle
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Recipe for 1 cheesecake = 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
Since she s making 5 cheesecakes, she will requite = 5 x 1 1/2 teaspoons
= 5 x 3/2= 15/2 = 7 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla.
Step 2
If a bottle of vanilla contains = 12 teaspoons of vanilla
After baking 5 cheesecakes which consumed = 7 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
Teaspoons left of vanilla = Total teaspoons of vanilla-teaspoons of vanilla used for 5 cheesecakes= 12 – 7 1/2 =4 1/2
Therefore 4 1/2 Teaspoons of vanilla will be left in the bottle
