Answer 1

For 20 small cups = 200 ounces of lemonade

For 30 large cups = 600 ounces of lemonade

Total ounces of lemonade = 800 ounces lemonade

Explanation:

Each small cup holds 10 ounces of lemonade and each large cup hold 20 ounces of lemonade.

How many ounces of lemonade would be needed to make 20 small cups and 30 large cups of lemonade?

For small cups

1 small cup = 10 ounces

20 small cups = x

x = 20 × 10 ounces

x = 200 ounces lemonade

For large cups

1 large cup = 20 ounces

30 large cups = x

Cross Multiply

x = 30 × 20 ounces

x = 600 ounces lemonade

The total number of ounces of lemonade = 200 ounces + 600 ounces

= 800 ounces lemonade
