Vegetable stew The clues
Carl, Callie, Charli and Craig were comparing their favourite recipes for vegetable stew. They used the same four vegetables in their stews but each used a different amount of each vegetable in their recipes. They used 30, 27, 24 and 20 carrots. They used 17, 15, 13 and 12 potatoes. They used 40, 35, 34 and 26 tomatoes. They used 60, 54, 48 and 40 onions. Based on the clues, match the names with the number of carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and onions they each used in their recipes.
1. Callie’s recipe called for two tomatoes and three onions for each carrot in her stew. 2. Carl and Callie had a combined total of 25 potatoes in their recipes. 3. Carl and Craig had a combined total of 88 onions in their recipes. 4. Carl and Callie used a combined total of 50 carrots and 100 onions in their recipes. 5. Craig used three more carrots than Charli, and Charli used two fewer potatoes than Craig. 6. The person who used the fewest potatoes used the most carrots. 7. Multiply Craig’s potato number by two to discover Charli’s tomato number and, of course, Carl’s recipe did not call for the fewest tomatoes.
