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
