A powdered drink mix calls for a ratio of powder to water of 1:8. If there are 32 cups of powder, how many total cups of water are needed? Explain

256 are needed because 32x1=32 that means the ratio would be 32:256 because 8 x 32 = 256
The final ratio would stay the same as 1:8 though because it would be simplified.
Hope this helped.
