Question

A recipe for a fruit drink calls for 2 cups of fruit juice for every 5 cups of water. Look at each drink mix. Does each drink mix follow the recipe?

4 cups of fruit juice and 10 cups of water. Yes. No.

0.5 cup of fruit juice and 1 cup of water. Yes. No.

1 cup of fruit juice and 2.5 cups of water. Yes. No.

7 cups of fruit juice and 17 cups of water. Yes. No. ​

Answer 1

A. Yes

B. No

C. Yes

D. No

Explanation:

A and C has an equivalent ratio.

B and D do not.

2:5 x2 = 4:10

Because if we multiply 2 on both the 2 cups of fruit juice and the 5 cups of water we'll get

4:10 which is the ratio of A

If we divide both the 2 cups of fruit juice and the 5 cups of water with 2 we'll get...

2 ÷ 2 = 1

5 ÷ 2 = 2.5

1:2.5 is the ratio for C.

So both C and A are correct

The rest, B and D, are not equivalent.

Answer 2

1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes
4.no
