Question

Miss Alberto decided to make juice to serve along with the pizza at her student government party the directions said to mix two scoops of powdered drink mix with a half gallon of water to make each picture of juice one of Miss Alberto student said she will mix 8 scoop with two gallons of water to make four pictures how can you use the concept of proportional relationships to decide whether the student is correct correct.

Answer 1

The proportionality relationship is fulfilled, so the student is correct

Explanation:

We know that to make half a gallon of juice 2 tablespoons of powdered juice are required.

If we call x the number of tablespoons and call p the number of pitchers then we have the following proportion:

`(x)/(p) = (2)/(1)`

The proportion between the scoops of powdered drink and the number of pitcher of juice is 2 to 1.

So we want to know how many scoops of powdered juice are needed to get 4 juice pitchers:

Then we multiply:

`8\ scoop * (1\ pitcher\ of\ juice)/(2\ scoop) = 4\ pitcher\ of\ juice` pitcher of juice

The proportionality relationship is fulfilled, so the student is correct
