Can somebody help me with a ratio problem my brother has (math)?

Question

Amanda and Randy are making fruit punch for a class party. The directions on the liquid concentrate mix say to use 2 cups of concentrate for every 5 cups of cold water to make one batch of fruit punch. Amanda and Randy want to make enough fruit punch so that each of the 28 people at the party can have 2 cups of fruit punch.


It's a 7th grade problem but I have other stuff to do.

Answer 1

8, so do I

Answer 2

you multiply 2 times 28 to see how many total cups needed. That gives you 56 total cups.

Then, you add 5 + 2 to see how many cups are going to be in each batch. That gives you 7 cups per batch.

For each person to get enough fruit punch, you would divide that 56 total cups by 7 cups per batch and you get your final asnwer. You would 8 batches of fruit punch to serve everyone.

Answer 3

i will only teach you the thank you to artwork it out using fact then you certainly would be attentive to the thank you to do them in destiny coz there is no element only doin them for u. i will do the no. a million as an occasion. upload the ratio e.g. a million:2 = 3 So positioned each huge style over 3 ( a million/3 and 2/3) Now you ought to discover a million/3 of $30 and 2/3 of $30. 30 divided via 3 = 10 x a million = 10 30 divided via 3 = 10 x 2 = 20 So $30 in the ratio a million:2 is $10:$20. If there are 3 as in no. 6 you upload the three numbers and do the spectacular comparable element. i wish you recognize the way i've got defined it and need it facilitates. =0)

Answer 4

2 cups of concentrate + 5 cups of water = 7 cups of liquid in each batch.

28 people would need 4 batches just to have 1 cup of punch each.

So if each person wants 2 cups of punch, how many batches do you need to make?
