She will need 172 cups of water for 1 cup of lemon mix

To make the lemonade, 43 cups of water are required for 1/4 cup of lemon mix

This means that x cups of water will be required for 1 cup of lemon mix

To get x, we simply proceed to multiply;

43 * 1 = x * 1/4

43 = x/4

x = 43 * 4

x = 172 cups of water
