Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Choice C. The ratio given is 2 to 3. All of the choices give the total of 15 glass as needed

Answer 2

Answer:

6 lemon juice and 9 glasses of water are needed to make 15 lemonade glasses.

Explanation:

Given ratio = 2:3

Then, to find out the required no. of lemon juice glasses and glasses of water to makes 15 lemonade glasses, we have

let 2x be the no. of lemon juice glasses

and let 3x be the no. of glasses of water.

by the question,

2x + 3x = 15

5x = 15

x = 15 ÷ 5

x = 3

.°. 2 × x = 2 × 3 = 6

& 3 × x = 3 × 3 = 9
