Answer 1

`(5)/(1.5) = (2)/(?)`

First let's find out how much cups is in 2 gallons.

1 gallon ==> 16 cups

2 gallons ==> 32 cups

So,


`(5 )/(1.5) = (32)/(?)`

Now, 5 times what equals 32??

5 × 6.4 = 32

So therefore, we must also multiply 1.5 by 6.4.

1.5 × 6.4 = 9.6

Answer : 9.6 cups of lemon juice are needed for 2 gallons of lemonade.
