Question

For Jevonte's lemonade recipe, 10 lemons are required to make 15 cups of lemonade. At what rate are lemons being used in lemons per cup of lemonade? A) 0.6 lemons/cup B) 0.75 lemons/cup C) 1.5 lemons/cup D) 2 lemons/cup

Answer 1

The rate of lemons per cup in Jevonte's recipe is calculated by dividing the number of lemons (10) by the number of cups of lemonade (15), which results in 0.67 lemons/cup. But this is not among the provided answer choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we're trying to find out how many lemons are used per cup of lemonade in Jevonte's recipe. This is a rate problem, which means we'll divide the number of lemons by the number of cups of lemonade to get the rate. Here, we have 10 lemons and 15 cups of lemonade.

To find the rate, divide the number of lemons by the number of cups. So, it's 10 lemons / 15 cups = 0.67 lemons/cup. However, this is not one of your answer choices. It seems there may be an error in the question or the provided answer choices.
