Question

Ronald is preparing lemonade for his friends.To make 6 cups of lemonade, he needs q cup of lemon juice.To make 24 cups of lemonade, he needs to proportionality increase the amount of the lemon juice

Answer 1

Solution: We are given:

To make 6 cups of lemonade, Ronald needs q cup of lemon juice.

Now Ronald has to make 24 cups of lemonade.

Let x be the number of cups of lemon juice needed to make 24 cups of lemonade.

Using the proportionality principle, we have:

$\frac{6}{q} =\frac{24}{x}$

$x=\frac{24 q}{6}$

$x=4q$

Therefore, to make 24 cups of lemonade, he needs $4q$ amount of lemon juice.
