Mary uses 212 cups of lemonade concentrate to make 20 servings of lemonade. How many servings can Mary make using 1 gallon of lemonade concentrate? Please include an explanation :)

Sagot :

Answer:

number of servings = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1 gallon = 16 Cups

cups of lemonade concentrate : lemonade servings

212 cups : 20 servings

How many servings can Mary make using 1 gallon of lemonade concentrate

Let

x = number of servings

cups of lemonade concentrate : lemonade servings

16 cups : x servings

Equate both ratios to get x

212 : 20 = 16 : x

212 / 20 = 16 / x

Cross product

212 * x = 20 * 16

212x = 320

x = 320 / 212

= 1.5094339622641

Approximately 1.5 servings

number of servings = 1.5
