Answer 1

3 batches can be made with 5 tablespoons of drink mix and 36 ounces of water

Solution:

We have been given that a sports drink recipe calls for 5/3 tablespoons of powered drink mix for every 12 ounces of water.

We need to find out how many batches can be made with 5 tablespoons of drink mix and 36 ounces of water.

So, from the given information we see that to make 1 batch of sports drink we need 5/3 tablespoons of powdered drink mix for every 12 ounces of water.

So, we have 36 ounces of water. But we know that for 1 batch of sports drink we need to 12 ounces. So with 36 ounces of water we can make

$=\frac{36}{12}$

= 3 batches

Therefore, we can make 3 batches of sports drink from 5 tablespoons of powdered drink mix and 36 ounces of water.
