Answer: The student is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The directions said to mix 2 scoops of powdered drink mix with a half gallon of water to make each pitcher of juice.
This can be written as:
2 scoops = 1/2 gallons of water
Multiply both side by 2
2×2 scoops = 2×1/2 gallons of water
4 scoops = 1 gallons of water
That means Ms. Albero wants 4 scoops for each gallons of water.
Albero’s students said she will mix 8 scoops with 2 gallons of water to make 4 pitchers.
This can be written as:
8 scoops = 2 gallons of water
Divide both side by 2.
8/2 scoops = 2/2 gallons of water
4 scoops = 1 gallons of water
That means Albero’s students used 4 scoops for each gallons of water, which is the same quantity of scoops per gallons as suggested by the Ms. Albero.
So the student is correct.
