Answer:

10 cups of sparkling water

Explanation:

The ratio of sparkling water to apple juice is 2:3.

Since 3 is multiplied by 5 to get to 15, we have to multiply 2 by 5 to get the answer.

2x5=10

So, our answer is 10.

Answer:

10 cups

Explanation:

Jada mixes 2 cups of sparkling juice with every 3 cups of apple juice.

15 / 3 = 5

You do 15 / 3 because you have to find out how much the recipe increased (recipe being 2 cups of SW per 3 cups of AJ).

2 x 5 = 10

You multiply 2 x 5 because the recipe increased 5 times.

The answer should be 10 cups of sparkling water.
