Question

you mix 0.25 cup of juice concentrate for every 2 cups of water to make 18 cups of juice. how much juice concentrate do you use? how much water do you use ?

Answer 1

Answer:

You have a total of 2.25 cups of liquid each time you add 2 cups of water with .25 cups of concentrate.

You want to know how many times 2.25 cup "units" there are in 18 cups.

(18)/(2.25) = 8, so you have 8 "units" of water and concentrate

In each of those 8 "units" you have .25 cups concentrate, so (8)(.25) = 2 cups of concentrate.

In each of the "units" you have 2 cups of water, so (8)(2) = 16 cups water.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
