Question

Ella used 3 4 of a bag of lemons to make 1 2 liters of lemonade. If Ella's recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade, how many lemons will she need to make 4 times the recipe?

Answer 1

ANSWER IS B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit rate: multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

unit rate = 3 /4 /1 /2 = 3/ 4 × 2 /1 = 6 /4 = 3 /2 bags per liter

Therefore, 4 times the recipe:

3 /2 × 4 = 6 bags of lemons

Answer 2

Ella will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Ella used ¾ of a bag of lemon to make ½ liters of lemonade

Therefore, we can form an equation as:

¾ bag lemons = ½ liter lemonade

According to question,

Ella recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade

Lemons required for ½ liter lemonade =
`(3)/(4)` bag

Lemons required for 1 liter lemonade =
`(3)/(4)* 2` = 3/2 bags

To make 4 times the recipe, she will require,

`(3)/(2) * 4 = 3 * 2 = 6`

She will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe
