Question

Answer 1

Given:

To make a lemonade recipe, 6 lemons are required to make 10 cups of lemonade.

Aim:

We need to find the rate of cubs of lemonade per lemon.

Step-by-step explanation:

`10\text{ cups : 6 lemons}`

Divide both sides by 10.

`(10)/(10)\text{ cups: }(6)/(10)\text{ lemon}`

`\text{cup : }(3)/(5)\text{ lemon}`

`\text{cup per lemon = }(3)/(5)\text{ }`

Final answer:

Hence 3/5 rate of lemons being used in cups of lemonade per lemon.
