Question

4`1/3` cans of water must be added to a can of lemonade concentrate to make 64 ounces of lemonade. How many cans of water are needed to make 96 ounces of lemonade?

Answer 1

`6 1/2` cans of water.

Explanation:

To make `64` ounces of lemonade, we need `4 1/3=(4xx3+1)/3=13/3` cans of water.

Hence for `1` ounce of lemonade we will need `13/3xx1/64` cans of water, and

for `96` ounce of lemonade we will need

`13/3xx1/64xx96` cans of water, i.e. (dividing by `32`

`13/3xx1/(2cancel(64))xx(3cancel(96))/1` or

`13/cancel3xx1/2xxcancel3/1=13/2=6 1/2` cans of water.
