Question

Dave is making lemonade. For each 8 cups of water, he uses 3 cups of lemon juice and 2 cups of sugar. If w the number of cups of water, l is the number of cups of lemon juice, and s is the number of cups of sugar, which equations are correct?

A. l = 3/8 (w)
B. l = 3s
C. w= 4s
D. l = 2/3 (s)

Answer 1

I believe it’s C but I’m not sure

Answer 2

Answer: A and C are correct.

Explanation:

Look at the proportions. For 8 cups of water there are 3 cups of lemon juice. So L 3/8(w)

For 8 cups of water there are 2 cups of sugar. 8 is 4 times 2. So the amount of water is 4 times the amount of sugar. W= 4s
