Question

A recipe for Kool-Aid calls for 1/4 cup of sugar for every 3 cups of liquid. How many cups of sugar would be needed for 18 cups of liquid?​

Answer 1

1.5 cups of sugar

Explanation:

Given:

-You need a 1/4 cup of sugar for 3 cups of Kool-Aid

-You need to find the amount of sugar you need for 18 cups of liquid

Solution:

You need to find how many recipes you need

3x = 18

So x = 6

Now you need to multiply 1/4 by 6 to find the amount of sugar

That would be 6/4 which is 1.5

So you need 1.5 cups of sugar for 18 cups of Kool-Aid
