Question

Students are making lemonade from a powdered lemon drink mix. Cameron mixes 3 cups of water and 2 cups of powdered lemon mix. Sophie mixes 9 cups of water and 4 cups of powdered lemon mix. Use Cameron and Sophie’s percent of water to determine whose mix will be more watery. Cameron percent of water (to nearest whole number) = % Sophie percent of water (to nearest whole number) = % Cameron’s lemonade will be more watery. Sophie’s lemonade will be more watery. The two lemonades will be equally watery.

Answer 1

Answer:Sophie mix is more watery

Step-by-step explanation:Cameron—->3 cups water and 2 cups lemon

Sophie——>9 cups water and 4 cups lemon

Cameron = 3/(3+2)*100=60%

Sophie=9/9+4*100=9.*7.5=69.2%

Hence Sophie uses more water

Answer 2

To determine whose mix will be more watery, we need to calculate the percent of water in each mix.

For Cameron's mix, the total amount of liquid (water + lemon mix) is 3 cups + 2 cups = 5 cups. The percent of water in the mix is (3/5) x 100% = 60%.

For Sophie's mix, the total amount of liquid is 9 cups + 4 cups = 13 cups. The percent of water in the mix is (9/13) x 100% ≈ 69%.

Therefore, Sophie's lemonade will be more watery.
