Answer:

84 oz. water and 24 oz. powder

Explanation:

Okay so the ratio of water to powder is 7x:2x, x being however much you increase the number based off the question

The sum of water and powder is 108

so, 7x+2x=108

9x=108

x=12

that means water is 7*12=84 oz.

and powder is 2*12=24 oz.

to check: 84+24=108
