Question

Jenny makes food for her hummingbird feeders. The food is made up of 1 part sugar and 4 parts water. She uses 34 cup of sugar to make the hummingbird food. How much water should Jenny use?

Answer 1

if you multiply 1 by 34, you have to also do 4*34=136 parts water and 34 parts sugar.

Answer 2

1 part sugar : 4 parts water

3/4 cup of sugar.

1/4 = 3/4 : x
x = 4 * 3/4
x = 12/4
x = 3 part water
