Question

A lemonade recipe calls for the juice of 5 lemons, 2 cups of water, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Invent a new version of this lemonade recipe that would make more lemonade but taste the same as the original recipe. *

Answer 1

The new version contains 15 lemons, 6 cups of water and 6 tablespoons of honey

Explanation:

The given ingredients used to make the lemonade are;

The number of lemons = 5

The number of cups of water = 2

The number of tablespoons of honey = 2

Therefore a new version the lemonade recipe that would make more lemonade but that would still taste the same as the lemonade made with the given recipe is found by scaling up the quantities of the ingredients in the given recipe as follows;

The ingredients used to make the new lemonade are obtained by multiplying the ingredients in the given recipe by a factor larger than 1;

The number of lemons in the new recipe = 5 × 3 = 15

The number of cups of water in the new recipe = 2 × 3 = 6

The number of tablespoons of honey in the new recipe = 2 × 3 = 6

The new version contains 15 lemons, 6 cups of water and 6 tablespoons of honey.
