Question

Anna’s recipe calls for 2 cups of lemonade concentrate and 3 cups of water. Bailey’s recipe calls for 3 cups of lemonade concentrate and 5 cups of water. Suppose each person pours herself one cup of the lemonade she made. How much concentrate is on each person’s cup? How do you know

Answer 1

Answer: Anna =
`(2)/(5)` and Bailey =
`(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

In case of Anna:

Number of cups of lemonade concentrate = 2

Number of cups of water = 3

So, Part of concentration for Anna would be

`(2)/(2+3)=(2)/(5)`

In case of Bailey:

Number of cups of lemonade concentrate = 3

Number of cups of water = 5

So, Part of concentration for Bailey would be

`(3)/(3+5)=(3)/(8)`

Hence, Anna =
`(2)/(5)` and Bailey =
`(3)/(8)`
