Question

A lemonade mix calls for 2 tablespoons of mix for every 3 cups of water. If the container

has 24 tablespoons of mix, then how many cups of water will be needed?

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

Answer 2

36 cups of water

Explanation:

Make a proportion, where x is the number of cups of water needed:

`(2)/(3)` =
`(24)/(x)`

Cross multiply and solve for x:

2x = 72

x = 36

So, 36 cups of water will be needed
