Question

1. David uses 1 tbsp of sugar for every 1.25 cups of water when he makes lemonade complete the table below by filling in the missing values

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

David uses 1 table spoon of sugar for every 1.25 cups of water to prepare lemonade.

Therefore, Number of table spoons of sugar required (S) ∝ Cups of water required (w)

⇒ S ∝ w

⇒ S = kw

⇒ k = $\frac{S}{w}$

⇒ k = $\frac{1}{1.25}$ = 0.8

So the formula to calculate the amount of water will be,

S = 0.8w

⇒ w = $\frac{S}{0.8}$

where k = proportionality constant

Now we can complete the table with the help of the formula.

Sugar (tbsp)                   Water (cups)

      1                                     1.25                                                                      

      7                                    8.75    

      3                                    3.75

      5                                    6.25
