Question

Ms. Albero decided to make juice to serve along with the pizza at the Student Government party. The directions said to mix 2 scoops of powdered drink mix with a half gallon of juice. One of Ms. Albero's students said show will mix 8 scoops with 2 gallons of water to make 4 pitchers. How can you use the concept of proportional relationships to decide whether the student is correct? *

Answer 1

Yes, the student is correct.

Explanation:

2*4=8 scoops

1/2*4=2 gallons

Since they were multiplied by the same number, the student is correct. It's like making it 4 times, but all at once.

I hope this was helpful!
