1) what you would have to do in order to solve this problem is divide 3 3/4 by 10 and the answer is to that will be how much mix is needed in order to make one cup of drink.

work

3 3/4 / 10

answer

375/1000

2) 3 3/4= 10

11 1/4=x

to solve for x (which is the unknown variable) you would have to cross multiply which is doing 11 1/4 multiply 10 which equals 112 1/2 now take this number and divide it by 3 3/4 which gives you an answer of 30 cups with 11 1/4 scoops of drink mix

Answer-

30 cups
