Answer:16 batches of lemonade
Explanation:
each batch requires (10 cups of lemonade):
5 cups of water
2.5 cups of lemonade mix
1 cup of lemon juice
1.5 cups of sugar
you are given:
80 cups of water ⇒ makes up to 16 batches
44 cups of lemonade mix ⇒ makes up to 17.6 batches
36 cup of lemon juice ⇒ makes up to 36 batches
40 cups of sugar ⇒ makes up to 26.67 batches
the ingredient that determines the total amount of batches we can make is water which is enough to produce only 16 batches.
you would use:
80 cups of water (no water left)
40 cups of lemonade mix (4 cups left)
16 cups of lemon juice (20 cups left)
24 cups of sugar (16 cups left)
