Answer:
Amount of lemon juice, sugar and water required will be = 0.375 cups, 0.75 cups and 3 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
Malanie is making lemonade and finds a recipe that requires lemon juice, sugar and water in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 8.
She juices 2 lemons to obtain 6 tablespoons of lemon juice.
∵ 16 tablespoons = 1 cup
∴ 1 tablespoon = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] cup
∴ 6 tablespoon = [tex]\frac{6}{16}[/tex] cup = 0.375 cups
Since ratio between lemon and sugar is 1 : 2
So amount of sugar required = 0.375×2 = 0.75 cups
Ratio between lemon and water is 1 : 8
So amount of water required = 0.375×8 = 3 cups
Therefore, amount of lemon juice, sugar and water required = 0.375 cups, 0.75 cups sugar and 3 cups respectively.
