Ella used 3 4 of a bag of lemons to make 1 2 liters of lemonade. If Ella's recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade, how many lemons will she need to make 4 times the recipe?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Ella will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe
Explanation:Given Ella used ¾ of a bag of lemon to make ½ liters of lemonade
Therefore, we can form an equation as:
¾ bag lemons = ½ liter lemonade
According to question,
Ella recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade
Lemons required for ½ liter lemonade = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] bag
Lemons required for 1 liter lemonade =[tex]\frac{3}{4}\times 2[/tex] = 3/2 bags
To make 4 times the recipe, she will require,
[tex]\frac{3}{2} \times 4 = 3 \times 2 = 6[/tex]She will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe
