Question

Preston makes each pitcher of lemonade with 75 grams of sugar. How many pitchers of lemonade can Preston make if he has 3 kilograms of sugar

Answer 1

40 pitchers

Explanation:

3 kilograms equals 3000 grams

we can create this proportion, then cross-multiply to solve for 'p', which is the number of pitchers

75/1 = 3000/p

3000 = 75p

3000/75 = p

40 = p
