Question

"Haley and her teammates are going to sell lemonade at the boys' basketball games to raise money for new uniforms and summer basketball camp. To make the lemonade, they make a sugar water solution by dissolving sugar into hot water. In another container they squeeze lemons to form pure lemon juice. They mix the two liquids together according to the following recipes:

If the team wants to make 10 quarts of each type of lemonade, how many quarts of lemon juice do they need for each?"

Answer 1

To make 10 quarts of each type of lemonade, they would need approximately 3.33 quarts of lemon juice for each type.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many quarts of lemon juice they need, we need to determine the ratio of lemon juice to sugar water solution in the lemonade recipe. Let's assume the recipe calls for mixing 1 quart of lemon juice with 3 quarts of sugar water solution for the lemonade. So for 10 quarts of lemonade, they would need 10/3 quarts of lemon juice. Therefore, they would need approximately 3.33 quarts of lemon juice for each type of lemonade.
