Question

A sports drink recipe calls for 3/2 tablespoons of powdered drink mix for every 8 ounces of water. How many batches can you make with 6 tablespoons of drink mix and 32 ounces of water?

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the recipe calls for 3/2 tablespoon of powdered drink mix for every 8 ounce of water, each time you add 8 ounce of water, you add another 3/2 tablespoons of powdered drink mix. So you need to divide 32 ounces by 8 which gives you 4 and therefore for 32 ounces of water you need 4 times of 3/2 tablespoons of powdered drink mix which gives you 6 which is just enough. So you can make 4 batches
