Question

Ronald is preparing lemonade for his friends.To make 6 cups of lemonade, he needs q cup of lemon juice.To make 24 cups of lemonade, he needs to proportionality increase the amount of the lemon juice

Answer 1

Solution: We are given:

To make 6 cups of lemonade, Ronald needs q cup of lemon juice.

Now Ronald has to make 24 cups of lemonade.

Let x be the number of cups of lemon juice needed to make 24 cups of lemonade.

Using the proportionality principle, we have:

`(6)/(q) =(24)/(x)`

`x=(24 q)/(6)`

`x=4q`

Therefore, to make 24 cups of lemonade, he needs
`4q` amount of lemon juice.
