Question

A small, test batch of lemonade used 1/4 cup of sugar added to 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. After confirming it tasted good, a larger batch is going to be made with the same ratios using 10 cups of water. How much sugar should be added so that the large batch tastes the same as the test batch?

Hint: there is extra information in this.

2.5 or cups of sugar
