Question

4 1/3 cans of water must be added to a can of lemonade concentrate to make 64 ounces of lemonade. How many cans of water are needed to make 96 ounces of lemonade?

Answer 1

You need about 6.45 cans. To solve, you'd divide 4 1/4 by 8 since 8 is a factor of 64 and 96. You'd then multiply it by 12, because 8*12=96.
