Answer :

Let's write the first inequality, the number of people:

[tex]5\leq n\leq8[/tex]

Now, since she plans to prepare 2 cups of water per person, we multiply 5 times 2, and 8 times 2 in the equation above; that will be the number of cups:

[tex]10\leq c\leq16[/tex]

The next step is to find the number of required scoops. There are two ratios that tell us how many scoops of powder we need.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4\text{ scoops}}{1\text{ quart}}\rightarrow ratio\text{ 1} \\ \frac{1\text{ quart}}{4\text{ cups}}\rightarrow ratio\text{ 2} \\ 10\text{cups}\cdot\frac{4\text{ scoops}}{1\text{ quart}}\cdot\frac{1\text{ quart}}{4\text{ cups}}\leq L\leq16\text{cups}\cdot\frac{4\text{ scoops}}{1\text{ quart}}\cdot\frac{1\text{ quart}}{4\text{ cups}} \\ 10\leq L\leq16 \end{gathered}[/tex]

After all of this, we can assure that the expressions 5<=n<=8, c=2n, L=c, 10<=L<=16

are completely true.
