A recipe for lemonade calls for 1/2 cup water to every 1/3 cup lemon juice. If you increase the recipe and use 1 1/2 cups lemon
juice, how much water should you use?
1 answer:
Answer: 2¹/₄ cups of water
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula calls for water and lemon juice to be mixed in the ratio:
1/2 : 1/3
If the quantity of lemon juice increases to 1 1/2 which is 3/2 then you can find the quantity of water required using direct proportion:
1/2 : 1/3
x : 3/2
Cross multiply to get:
1/3 x = 3/4
x = 3/4 ÷ 1/3
x = 3/4 * 3/1
x = 9/4
x = 2¹/₄ cups of water
