Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 cups of sparkling water with every 3 cups of apple juice = sparkling juice
Sparkling water : apple juice
2 : 3
How much sparkling water does Jada need if she uses 8 cups of apple juice.
Sparkling water : apple juice
x : 8
Equate both ratios
2 : 3 = x : 8
2/3 = x / 8
2*8 = 3*x
16 = 3x
x = 16 / 3
= 5.33 cups
Sparkling water = 5.33 cups
How much apple juice does Jada need if she uses 8 cups of sparkling water
Sparkling water : apple juice
8 : y
Equate both ratios
2 : 3 = 8 : y
2/3 = 8 / y
Cross product
2 * y = 3 * 8
2y = 24
y = 24 / 2
= 12
y = 12
Apple juice = 12 cups
NOTE: There is an error in your question, you wrote "How much sparkling water does Jada need if she uses 8 coups of sparkling water." but I solved for both sparkling water and apple juice using 8 cups since your question was not clear enough.
