Question

Cece went home and made lemonade for her family. She needs 160 ounces of juice, and 1 cup is 8 ounces. How many cups of concentrate will she need? How many cups of water will she need?

A) 20 cups of concentrate, 10 cups of water
B) 40 cups of concentrate, 5 cups of water
C) 20 cups of concentrate, 20 cups of water
D) 10 cups of concentrate, 20 cups of water

Answer 1

Cece will need 20 cups of concentrate and no cups of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many cups of concentrate Cece will need, we first need to determine the total amount of juice she needs. She needs 160 ounces of juice. Since 1 cup is equal to 8 ounces, we can set up a proportion:

1 cup / 8 ounces = x cups / 160 ounces

Cross multiplying, we get:

8 * x = 1 * 160

x = 160 / 8

x = 20 cups

So Cece will need 20 cups of concentrate.

To find out how many cups of water she will need, we need to subtract the amount of concentrate from the total volume. Since she needs 160 ounces of juice, and each cup of concentrate is 8 ounces, the remaining amount of water needed is:

160 – (20 * 8) = 160 – 160 = 0

Therefore, Cece will not need any cups of water.
