Question

Ahmed has 16 cups of lemonade mix, how many cups of water are needed for the second recipe?

Answer 1

80 cups of water will be needed.

Explanation:

Let the equation that represents the amount of lemonade mix (y) and the cups of water needed (x) for second recipe is,

y = mx

Here, m = rate of change (amount of water required for a cup of lemonade mix)

m =
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

m =
`(65-50)/(13-10)` = 5

Therefore, equation will be,

y = 5x

If x = 16,

y = 5×(16)

y = 80 cups

Therefore, 80 cups of water will be needed to prepare 16 cups of lemonade mix.
