Question

Dracula needs to mix 4 quarts of liquid iced tea concentrate with 5.5

quarts of water to make iced tea. He wants to make 66.5 quarts of
iced tea. How much iced tea concentrate will he need?

Answer 1

Dracula will need 48 quarts of iced tea concentrate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much-iced tea concentrate Dracula will need, we can set up a proportion. If 4 quarts of iced tea concentrate is mixed with 5.5 quarts of water to make 66.5 quarts of iced tea, then we can say:

4 quarts / 5.5 quarts = x / 66.5 quarts

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

4 * 66.5 = 5.5 * x

Simplifying the equation gives us:

x = (4 * 66.5) / 5.5

x = 48 quarts

Answer 2

28 quarts.

First find out how many quarts of iced tea are made from 4 quarts of concentrate and 5.5 quarts of water. Then set up a proportion to solve for the amount of concentrate required for 66.5 quarts of iced tea.
