Question

one half liter of lemonade concentrate is added to 3 liters of water. how many 1/3 liter servings of lemonade are made.

Answer 1

The way I understand this, is that we will have 3 (liters of water) +0.5 (half a liter of lemonade) =3.5 liters of liquid

so the question would be: how many times does
`(1)/(3)` fit into 3.5?


I count this like this:


`(3.5)/( (1)/(3) ) = (3.5*3)/(1) =9+1.5=10.5`

if you want to divide by a fraction, you need to multiply by the reverse of it.

so the answer is: 10 servings of lemonade ( and a little bit will be left over for half a serving).
