Question

To make lemonade , Kate uses 1 cup of lemon juice and 2 cups of sugar. If she makes a larger amount of lemonade with 10 cups of sugar, how many cups of lemon juice does she need?

Answer 1

1/2 : 1

2 : 4

3 : 6

Notice that every ratio consists of a number and double the number.

For 1/2 cup lemon juice, use 1 cup sugar.

The amount of sugar is twice the amount of lemon juice.

The ratio is 1:2

Since you are told the ratio is 1:r, that means r is 2.

The unit rate is 2 cups sugar per cup of lemon juice.
