Question

José makes lemonade for his family. He combines 1 tbs. Of drink mix, 3 cups of sugar and 1 gallon of water to make one pitcher of lemonade(1:3;1). How much of each ingredient would he need to make 4 pitchers of lemonade? What is the new ratio?

Answer 1

1 : 3 : 1

Explanation:

1 pitcher of lemonade:

Drink mix = 1 tbs

Cups of sugar = 3

Gallon of water = 1

Ratio = 1 : 3 : 1

How much of each ingredient would he need to make 4 pitchers of lemonade?

Multiply all ingredients by 4

Drink mix = 4 tbs

Cups of sugar = 12

Gallon of water = 4

What is the new ratio?

4 : 12 : 4

= 1 : 3 : 1

The new ratio = 1 : 3 : 1
