many cups of lemonade will you need prepared? How many cups of lemonade mix and cups water does that amount to? SF: 1.4
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the problem, we need to determine the missing information in the table using the given ratio. The ratio provided is 1:4, which means for every 1 part of lemonade mix, there are 4 parts of water. We need to apply this ratio to find out how many cups of lemonade mix and water are needed for a given number of cups of lemonade.
Step 1: Determine the Total Parts in the Ratio
The ratio of lemonade mix to water is given as \(1:4\). This means that for every 1 part of lemonade mix, there are 4 parts of water. Therefore, the total parts in the ratio can be calculated as:
\[
\text{Total Parts} = 1 + 4 = 5
\]
Step 2: Calculate the Amount of Lemonade Mix and Water
Given that we need to prepare a total of \(42\) cups of lemonade, we can find the amount of lemonade mix and water needed using the ratios. The amount of lemonade mix (\(L\)) and water (\(W\)) can be calculated as follows:
\[
L = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right) \times 42 = 8.4 \text{ cups}
\]
\[
W = \left(\frac{4}{5}\right) \times 42 = 33.6 \text{ cups}
\]
Final Answer
The amounts needed are:
Lemonade mix: \(8.4\) cups
Water: \(33.6\) cups
Thus, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{L = 8.4, W = 33.6}
\]
