Answer 1

The amount of sugar and water that she will need to make lemonade with the same ratio of ingredients as the recipe is: Sugar 3/4 cup, Water 3 cup.  

Amount of sugar and water needed

Ratio=Lemon juice: Sugar: Water=1:2:8

Table spoons sugar needed=6×2=12

Table spoons water needed=6×8=48

Since 1 cup equals 16 tablespoons

Hence,

Sugar

12 tablespoons=1/16×12 cup

12 tablespoons=3/4 cup

Water

48 tablespoons=1/16×48

48 tablespoons=3 cups

Therefore the amount of sugar and water that she will need to make lemonade with the same ratio of ingredients as the recipe is: Sugar 3/4 cup, Water 3 cup.
