Question

If Flannery wants to make 48 cups ofpunch, how much water will she need?A 12 cB 24 cC 36 cD 48 c

Answer 1

From the given table 4 cups of punch need 3 cups of water

Then we can use the ratio method to solve the question

Punch: Water = 4: 3

Since we need 48 cups of punch, then

Punch: Water

4. 3

48. x

By using cross multiplication

`\begin{gathered} 4* x=48*3 \\ 4x=144 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 4

`\begin{gathered} (4x)/(4)=(144)/(4) \\ x=36 \end{gathered}`

To make 48 cups of punch you need 36 cups of water

The answer is C
