Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to "solve" this problem is to write and solve an equation of proportions:

(1/4) recipe                x

----------------- = ------------------

  1 recipe          6 onions

Cross-multiplying, we get x(1 recipe) = (1/4 recipe)(6 onions), which simplifies to

x = 6/4 onions, or x = 1.5 onions

See the proportion above.
