Question

Maddie and Cara each made a bowl of punch. Cara used 6 times as much lemonade as Maddie did. If Maddie used 2/3 of a cup of lemonade, how many cups of lemonade did Cara use?

Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

Cara used 4 cups.

Maddie(M) used 2/3 of a cup.

Cara(C) used 6 times the amount M used.

M x 6 = C

2/3 x 6 = C

2/3 x 6 = 12/3 = C

12/3 = 4 = C

4 = C
