Question

Bob needs to mix 5 cups of liquid lemonade concentrate with 2.5 cups of water to make lemonade. Bob has 2.5 cups of liquid lemonade concentrate. How much lemonade can he make?

Answer 1

3.75 cups

Explanation:

Given that :

5 cups of liquid lemonade concentrate is mixed with 2.5 cups of water to make lemonade

5 cups of lemonade = 2.5 cups of water

Ratio :

5 / 2.5

For 2.5 cups of lemonade :

5 / 2.5 = 0.5

Multiply :

5 / 2.5 * 0.5 / 0.5

2.5 / 1.25

Hence, 2.5 cups + 1.25 cups = 3.75 cups of lemonade will be made with 2.5 cups of liquid lemonade concentrate
